Bathroom sliding door track issue

I have a couple screws that a falling out of the top sliding door rail on bathroom, problem is the track goes into wall area. enough that I can reach in some but not enough to fix with out having to rip a curved wall out. Any idea what type of tool I can use to fix I thought of a flexable screwdriver extension or drill adapter but not lots of room in-between not sure maybe a 3 foot socket wrench anybody have this problem before . I have then find the tool if it special and put new bigger screws as the old are to small Thank you

If we are talking about a pocket door....
You have to remove some trim pieces, then with the door closed all the way it will tilt enough to lift off the track. Once its off. you have about 2" to work in. Good Luck DR

Assuming it is the pocket entrance door, you need to remove the top trim on both sides of the doorway. The door will come off, as mentioned in the post above.
The track should have several holes in the top, and you may be able to install larger screws. Last fall going down I-95 in SC, our pocket door fell, and I had to do what you are doing. After I got the door down and seen what I needed, I had the wife reach in and install the screws using my smaller power screwdriver. Her arms fit in there for a good distance, mine, not so much.

Perhaps , if you could add more info about your coach . ( Manufacturer and model ) the moderators could move your question to the owners forums , and a member with exact coach can provide better repair info .

When the pocket door track screws fell out on my coach , I had to purchase a 90 degree driver , mount it to a length of 1x2 , then with a magnetic screw bit and extensions for the 90 degree , work inside the pocket to install bigger screws.

Alternative was to cut the panel in the closet beside the pocket , and do the repair through the hole .... that alternative didn't go over with the DW .
