Cesana Curved Shower Door Rollers - Latitude 28 - 07-24-2021

On our last trip, my wife hands me a small round plastic thing that she found in the bathroom floor.  Further investigation it belongs to the curved shower door roller.  It had exploded apart with the small ball bearings missing in action.  The roller was no longer operational and for fear of the door falling off I removed the door and stowed it below.  BTW that door is heavy get help taking out of the coach!  I didn't, and was very fortunate not to break me or the door as I tripped on the step coming out of the coach.  Bought a shower curtain from Walmart and some hangers and we are back in business. 

Now for the rollers.  Knowing they are expensive started looking around for a suitable metric bearing replacement in order to rebuild the old roller.  Found a nice bearing that was about a .001" too big on the O.D. and .002 too small on the I.D.  Those bearings where $25 ea. and I needed two per roller...so $50 and some machine time might get me back in business.  Someone suggested calling Liberty Coach as they had them pretty reasonable.  Liberty wanted $325 each and had them in stock.  Unable to find another source I found some on Ebay for $99....https://www.ebay.com/itm/164662266606?hash=item2656a2caee:g:n-0AAOSwtilb7Na.  Ordered them, now the door is fixed, and we are back in business.

that seller has found a great market. before them and the other one on ebay you were stuck paying 3x those prices. they also have the nylon strip for the top much cheaper.

Wow Joe! That site has some pretty neat stuff. I have a couple of Linear Actuators some gave me that may need some of those parts.

Hey buddy, I literally laughed out loud reading your post, same exact disaster happened to me a couple years ago in a Liberty. One minute you're brushing your teeth, next minute it's ball bearings everywhere and you're holding a glass guillotine wondering how you're gonna shower for the next month. Been there, cursed that, barely survived the solo removal myself!
That eBay seller you found has been a lifesaver for a ton of us, finally somebody who isn’t treating these rollers like solid gold. Before those guys showed up we were all stuck paying factory “because you’re stranded” prices.
I actually run Hunepulley and we’ve been making direct-replacement rollers for these exact curved RV shower doors for years now, same nylon wheel, stainless sealed bearings, perfect fit, no drama. A lot of the high-end coach owners have been switching over to ours because they hold up way longer than the original plastic bombs.
Glad you’re back to real showers and nobody got hurt in the great glass door extraction! Safe travels brother! ??
