We just purchased a beautiful '06 HR Endeavor and would like to add sliding bay trays to the storage compartments. Any ideas of manufacturers and installation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

We had Joey Beds in our Beaver. They were nice because they could be disassembled and reassembled in place. This makes it much easier to minmize space lost due to installation and makes it easier to service the bed slide because none of the pieces are too large or too heavy. They were also very durable and more immune to heavy loads than some.

We also had a Gorilla slide in our F350: very rugged and very heavy 1-piece bed slide. Worked great, but a PITA to install or remove.

We currently have a 'BedSlide' in the Chevy. It's very easy to remove and reinstall, which makes it reasonable to take out to use the bed for other things, BUT is is a flyweight otherwise.

The commercial units are expensive. Find a local cabinet shop & have them quote you on some. The usual ball bearing slides are 100# and too light but heavier capacity slides are available. I used 100# slides in my bays as they're not very big & I don't load them with much heavy stuff.

We bought Slide-Master slides. All aluminum so they are light and roll very easy even with 1000 lbs. on them. I think they are top quality.
