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.

The ebay link is no longer working, could you please share the item description?
Does your roller look like this one?
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 Joe,
The rollers I ordered off of eBay were the exact same as original Cesana rollers.  The one you have found might work as an alternate with some creative machining.
