    Barn door slider in MB issue

    We have a 380FL 2019 that we just purchased. We love the trailer however there are a couple of issues I’d like to bring to light. We had our barn doors come unlatched during travel down the road on our first trip. We fastened our barn door sliders as we were told to do with the plastic clip on the bottom however when we arrived at the campground we found that they had come undone and hit the cabinets. So now it has to go back to the dealer to fix the cabinets. They have to rebuilt the complete front cabinet for the bedroom. The plastic clip on the barn door sliders on this camper is not flexible enough to take the pressure of driving down the road. The stop slider on the top rail was never installed which also caused the issue of the slider door not being able to remain stable. Due to this is was too much pressure going back and forth from he bouncing down the highway. Please make sure to double check this before going down the road.

    Thanks for the heads up. Taking delivery of our 380FL in July. Thinking of blocking sliders solid while in transit with spreader bar.

    How did you make out with your delivery of your 380fl ? Hope it’s all you guys wanted love ours found great way to hang pictures and other little things my wife wants through out the trailer. Commercial Velcro tape. It really does work and if you want to remove picture it comes off and doesn’t hurt wall.
    Have fun door still off due to finding time to get damage repaired. Don’t want to loose camping time rolling out every other weekend when it works.

    Last I knew our 380 was going to full body paint, so our delivery is still on for mid to late July. So much info on this forum that I’m a bit overwhelmed but trying process it. Thanks for the tip on the pictures. Have fun!!!

    Hey Keith, My 380FL-R did the same thing. The Stop Slider was knocked off and I found it under the bed. It's held by 2 Allen screws. The plastic strap has broke twice and I have had to purchase a new one from Amazon. Would love to find something else that can hold the doors from moving. Any suggestions would be awesome.

    We took delivery last week, camping now on our first outing. I used a piece of dowel to span between the wall and the roller on the rail. Didn’t work. So now I’m drilling a hole in the rail and using a plastic piece of round stock with a hole in the center and bolting it on with a wing but for easy removal. This will be a bumper stop to keep it tight to the back stop. If I figure out how to send pics I will. Still don’t understand how after 3 inspections they miss all the glue spots on the walls!!!! Maybe I’m to picky!
