Pocket Door Issues
In the grand scheme of things, this is just a minor blip, but though I would share anyway just in case anyone else has the same issue.
So as I am prepping the rig for my next adventure, I step inside after a month or two and my Master bedroom door is drooped and looking worse for the ware. Turns out one of the two hangers has separated. At first I though I could simply reconnect the parts (the door and the hanger) after about 30 mins I decided that was a bust.
What was frustrating, is the fact I could not remove the door from the overhead track. As there was not enough room to do so.
Then I removed the 5 screws from the track and the one stop screw removed the entire door and track assembly. It's at the point I had a better understanding of the design. I was surprised that the first rv store I went to had the exact part I needed. Then a simple (2) screws R&R and it was fixed.
Only thing left to do was rehang the assembly which took a bit longer than expected do to my assistance was not available. Here are two pics of the hardware involved.

Thanks for this! I hope to fix my drooping pocket door soon, either by bending things back how they're supposed to be, or by getting new parts.

One other thing to check. The hex head screw shown in the picture allows about a 1/4" height adjustment. Somehow, even though it seems very tight, that screw backs out during travel and eventually the door drags on the floor. Flip the catch to release the door, adjust the nut back tight and all is good again...for awhile.

Use some blue threadlock (semi-permanent) on that bolt to stop it from backing out periodically. After having to fix our door several times, I tried it - and haven't had the issue in several thousand miles of traveling.

Looks like the same MorRyde part that gets used on the bathroom door.

When we bought ours, the pocket door barely worked. After fighting for several trips, i went to Lowes and bought new track and new hangars. Was a pain taking out the old track but finally managed to get it out. Modified how the new track was hung. It works so good now i can use it as a level when setting up.

You are correct. That came out as a replacement for a poorly designed hanger for the bathroom door.
There are several threads on the dreaded pivot door.
