I'll have to replace it with something or the door will slide out and/or jump of the track while I'm traveling. Anyone have a good way of securing the door? 2008 2500HD D/A 2008 Keystone Challenger downtheroad • View posts Pacific Northwest Senior Member Joined: 02/18/2003 View Profile Posted: 07/24/10 08:24am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Make a new one using a short length of nylon webbing. Go to a fabric store for the webbing and a new snap. Snaps are easy to install. You can get a snap kit like this with assorted snaps for under $10 "If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane" GMC Duramax/Allison (LBZ) Komfort ....

Works ok.

A piece of belt would probably outlast the 5er. If yours is like ours it has one snap. Probably be able to get an upholstery shop to do one snap gratis. The other end should be a screw.

It has velcro somewhere inside the pocket that engages when the door is fully opened, I don't trust it so just latch the door in the closed position. raildown • View posts Walker, LA New Member Joined: 01/17/2004 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 07/24/10 05:32pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Always close your pocket door and lock the latch while underway. The top hanging rails are not designed to handle the weight of the door when inside the pocket and you bounce down the road. 00 3500 Dodge LB CTD DRW 06 Prowler Regal 305RLDS 01 Wife 02 Dogs "The truck is MINE, EVERTHING else is hers" This Topic Is Closed  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 2   Next Open Roads Forum  >  Fifth-Wheels  > Pocket door hold back strap or whatever
