We recently did a bathroom door modification; making the door a sliding door rather than a swing door. We own a 2021 19ft. The reason we elected to make this change is: The swing door opened directly into the main path of the entire interior. The door was either open or closed, little option for partial venting with the door. After showering the moisture was locked into the bath behind the closed door. (This was especially true when preparing to get on the road and having to secure the door shut for travel.) A final and minor point was the swinging door was a cantilevered mass from the three small hinges.
We purchased a stainless-steel sliding door kit from Home Depot. The kit was modified by shortening the top rail bar on each end to fit the space. (Note: I did not have to redrill the existing holes as they lined up perfectly to the wall frames! We have the reinforced wall on the bath.) Shortening the standoff mounts for that rail to bring the door closer to the wall. (Note: The Home Depot kit is made for a standard width door.) Other allowances for door width included two blocks to fit between the door and the metal hangers and changing to T nuts on the back of the door to allow a close fit to the wall. The recessed pulls fit over the holes from the existing latch hardware. Finally, a magnetic closure was created to hold the door in the closed position. A lock was created from a baby drawer safety latch to hold the door open at the top and we supplement that with a plastic wedge in the bottom door guide.
We’re happy with this mod. After installing a decorative privacy shower curtain our sliding door remains open much of the time. A side benefit is that the heat and air conditioning now reach that room. On a recent trip in cooler temps the bathroom wasn’t an icebox in the middle of the night.
(Note: The child safety lock and new curtain are not yet installed in this pic.)
How clever you are! It looks great.
What a brilliant idea.

That is Beautiful work and a great modification
Wow very nice!! Well done.
I really like this.
Perfect. Thank you very much!
These are the best pics and videos I have of the door. The blocks for the door are 1x 3's? The mounting hardware was shortened about a half an inch. There was a lot of measuring and I laid it out on a flat floor with shims to get the right fit. Hope this answered your questions.
I really like the look of this. Wondering if we have the side clearance in our 5.0TA to make this modification. All your reasons are spot on!
Wondering if you could post some additional close-up pictures of the top bar mount attachments (both outside and inside the shower), the door guide at the bottom, and latch mechanism. Also some measurements like the amount you reduced the standoff mounts, etc would be nice information to have on hand.
