Pocket Door vs. Accordion (folding) Door A/S Interior

I have noticed pix of many interiors that have a accordian door from the hallway to the galley area.Mine has a pocket door there that slides into a streetside bulkhead pocket. It is fouled up and I will fix presently.

What was the reason that some trailers had one over the other?
Was the pocket supposed to be an upgrade? Mine is a 74 Excella.

How many of you have had trouble with which of the door styles?
Are the bathroom doors always "solid" swing or pocket? Or were accordians used there too? How bout closet doors?

What luck has anyone had replacing accordians with aftermarket (non Airstream) replacements?

The only really custom interior door job I recall is the one into the rear bath of the '55 A/S that was for sale in Brooklyn N.Y. @marinestove.com .
That one had a bifold door that had colored glass (or acrylic) panels.

Oh and I once was in a girl's Airstream trailer which had one of those glass-beaded-curtain doors into the boudouir. That was memorable. What do you call those Shari,you are into design?
