Cool, Alistair!

"[...] I would guess it would worth trying on the older, noisier doors."

On the older, noisier doors, like on my '84, the sound of the rollers is
the least of my worries. I doubt anything could quiet the K-THWAP! the
door makes when latching.

I try real hard to quietly mash the door closed when in a campground
shared by others who might be sleeping -- I'm an early riser; but if the
neighbors are generator people or seem to have gotten the impression
that I really wanted to listen to their idea of music late at night I
don't bother trying to shut the door quietly.

It's just my little way of saying "Thank you!"
