Storage slides

[RW Cal]

That was my reaction, too. Amazon lists them as Firgelli Automations 50" Guide Rail 400lbs Capacity.

I looked at them but decided I didn't really feel like getting into building my own. Plus, I wanted to be able to have the slide go either way out the doors.
Wound up with a 20x90 MorRyde tray and am very happy with it. Unlocks and slides out 60% either way with 2 fingers even after loaded with about 300 lbs.

If you shop around, they can be had significantly under retail. Got mine from Tweetys.

Thanks for the feedback. I would prefer the 90", but I need to convince myself that the 20" width would work.

I thought a lot about size too. The next up from 20" is 26" which won't clear the street side opening. The more I thought about it, I decided to go to the 20" because that allowed me to keep my chair storage against the back wall and also my shelf rack.


I'v attached some photos.

You talked me into the 20X90!
How did you mount the 2x4 shims? What basement floor thickness did you allow for?

That looks great vaughn

The basement floor is 3/4 plywood. You do have to be careful in a RL as the water tank is under the floor but not right up against it.
I used 1x4's and stacked 2. Mounted them with 1 1/2 inch wood screws and then another 1 1/2 lag screw to mount the slide. If you position it right, you can still get to the stuff in the shelves and also have enough room to put the folding table and 3 step ladder between the slide and the shelves.

If you need or want more pics, let me know. Really works out well.

I finally settled on the 26X90" Morryde for my 2015 38RL. It was easy to install and works great!
I used 2X4's as shims under the frame to provide clearance for the door openings. The 20" will provide the ability to slide out the tray on the street side with the utility door closed. My 26" requires me to open the utility door along with the basement door, but the extra 30% works better for me. I still have quite a bit of space on the side of the slide at the curb side where I have a 40# LP tank for the BBQ and 2 gravity chairs. BTW, the Morryde power cord reel is really a nice addition, especially with the sliding tray.

I was going to go with the 26 but lacked a 1/2" of opening width on the street side. I'm guessing manufacturing tolerances ! For me the 20" worked out ok as I have a storage shelf behind the tray and also have a few more chairs on the curb side.


You'll love the tray though, I can't believe how much more room I've got in there now.


Friend who is a fabricator made a rack to hold the propane grill above the tray, will have to post pictures.

[RW Cal]

Your pics are always very helpful. The rack for the grill is a great idea.
I think I like the manual cord reel mounted on the tray even better than the powered version on the new RW's. My rear storage compartment stores chairs, tables and mats now that I have a better place for the power cord.

I'd love to have the rear compartment .........
