Howdy Gang!

I want to know if any of you have a slide out tray that fits in the through and through storage compartments on your TT's?

We have a Jayco Jay Flight 27BH that has storage under the front Queen bed and it goes all the way under the bed, from one side of the TT to the other side of the TT.

Their are two outside doors that are directly across from each other! We would like to have two slides (one on each side of the TT) that would enable us to slide out what is needed!

On one side of the TT I have all the towing/set-up items...on the other side I have the water/waste items, as well as all my battery care items.

I have seen the slide out trays for the bed of a truck...just hoping to locate something similar for these storage compartments!

Thanks for any help here!


Just another day in Paradise!

CW has kits of different sizes. You have to provide the plywood. I have been waiting to do this myself.

As an alternative, consider using a series of laundry baskets. They are the perfect size, and slide in and out easily.

I bought some almost clear storage bins with small wheels on them at a Fred Meyer (Kroeger owned) store some years ago. They do the job nicely for us and we don't lose the storage space a slide unit uses up.

I put a Kwikee tray in my motorhome and it worked great. Had planned to do the same in the fifth but in looking at the area, I would lose the use of a lot of space. I went with plastic containers instead. Better use of the space and still very handy.

Hey Guys!

Thanks for all the great imput, links, and suggestions...you guys are great, lol!

We went on our 6 week trip (5,000 miles)and what I found is that when we travel often (making and breaking camp) each day or so, I just thought I would like to have a slide tray to make it just a tad easier to access and organize everything...not that I really need the trays, lol! I mean, if you can't blow money on your RV, why have it, right, lol!!!

I am currently using two clear plastic storage bins with lids on the hook up side of the TT...one for all of our sewer hookups, and one for all of our fresh water hook ups! We just leave all of the surgeons gloves and hand cleaners to the side.

On the other side I have a large cardboard box (the original) that the WD hitches came in, and in that I have the WDH's, the Sway Bar, Cheater Pipe, stabilizer hand crank (soon to be a 1/2" drill) and my Metal Tire Locking Wheel Chock. Beside the box I have two sets of linx levelers, my RVQ, and an assorted set of tools that I use for setting up!

Thanks again for taking your time to give me your thoughts on this item...

Signing off to head out camping...trying out a local Good Sam's Chapter this trip!

Have fun and GO Camping Guys!!!

I bought my Kwikee rail kit directly from Kwikee

I have a SuperSlide II and a Super Slide Assembly, the latter has multiple position lock the first just a stowed position lock.
