Sliding door on my t6 camper is really hard to close and open .Does anyone recommend any lubricant to use so it slides better how it use to?

Good chance the roller needs replaced.
Use the search button. It’s been covered on here.
I don’t think it’s particularly difficult to change.
There’s a thread with pics etc. on this.
 
And this is an area to not use lubricant but just keep clean, dirt+lubricant ends up being a grinding paste that hastens the roller issue.

If you must use it use a dry lubricant like you would use for locks.

 
Have a look at the bottom runner. You'll probably find that the bearing roller is seized. Move the door slightly with your finger on the roller and if it doesn't roll smoothly then fit a new bottom runner. They are less than £20, take 30 minutes to change and will save the possible damage caused when the bearing collapses.

I've just checked and cleaned out the grit in the bottom runner and checked the roller roller isn't working too roller is fine but by cleaning out the grit it's a bit better but will purchase a new bottom roller thanks for that advice
