Loose Closet Door

First trip and unable to open sliding closet doors at first in bedroom! The track at top is loose and screws have fallen out. Now they won't stay in the cheap wood in the top of closet. We finally got the door open. Thought we were "screwed" since most of our clothes and CPAP machine were in there. We noticed screws on floor of closet the first time we entered this camper at the dealership and mentioned it to the salesman. The closet worked at home but screws apparently fell out on first trip. What suggestions on a better method of "anchoring" the track? We will stop by dealer on way home. This trip is "shakedown" just one hour from dealer and two from home. A/C working okay thus far in 96 degrees but have shade in morning. The bathroom door won't close completely but can work "around" that.

A little epoxy or Gorilla Glue under the hinges and in the screw holes and it WILL NOT come loose.

The closet doors are mounted with very cheap 20" full extension drawer slides, I've already replaced one side with some good KV ones out of my shop. It is NOT an easy thing and I'm a cabinet maker.. Longer screws in different locations is the trick, but not so long they come through. The location of the slide must be in the original position but there are several screw location choices.

We had to travel by dealership on way home so stopped this afternoon and they (hopefully) fixed the closet door, bath room door and said the night shade was okay. The shade would not go up. Got home and shade had come down by itself so may have to work on that. Repair man at dealership said there was a tension adjustment on right side of roller so will check this out tomorrow. Happy they pulled the camper into the service bay and got to work on it on a Friday afternoon without an appointment.
Got home and level up would not level automatically. It did the first time home on the pad but don't know what happened this time. We turned it off and retried several times but no deal. We first thought we had not raised the front enough but after turning off several times and raising the front more said error! So, leveled it manually.
