The sliding door to the rear bath on my '77 Excella 500 does not always stay locked in place to the side. Once I stopped and found that it had come completely out of the bottom track after slamming shut. With a little work I was able to guide it back in and open the door. The latch at the top of the door pulls out to let the door slide but it apparently doesn't always retain the heavy door with a mirror on the bath side. I worry about 7 years bad luck should the thing not stay locked. I also have problems with the 2 sliding doors seperating the kitchen from the center twin bed and opposing dresser. I wonder if Airstream ever had any type of locking device for them? They always have one side or the other closing after I arrive at my destination.
