I made Grand California slide out draw.

[G-A-R-Y]

I made a slide out draw using 30x30 extruded aluminium.
Bought some anchoring strips to match original but low profile.
It's strong enough to stand on.
You can still open two left cupboards.

Great minds and all that, lol

 

[Grand Cali Pete]

Great minds indeed(shamelessly copied from a Facebook post)

Not me, I did a Sprinter self camper build on Youtube which used 30x30 profile. I had lots left over and have all the jig tools. I secured mine through the floor so it's strong enough to stand upon.

Nice one. How long are the slides you used? I've measured the interior space ofc but it's sometimes hard to tell whether the measurement of the slides offered end by the locking knob or further in. I can't seem to find any physical stores nearby that offer rigid ones so I'm left to online purchases.

Brilliant, thank you!

Can I also ask, what hardware did you use to fasten the slides to the airline rails? I was thinking track stones, but my rails are bolted (so I can’t remove them) and the ends are blocked by the cabinets so I can’t seem to find a way to slide the stones in.

I removed the airline rails which was a difficult job, I bought new low profile rails which allows for a full width drawer and I can still open cupboards. I cut the corner out on gas cupboard.

Yescampervan just released one of these that attaches to the existing airline rails (for anybody that’s clearly not as skilled as you talented people)

I drilled and tapped the airline rail. I used 6mm button head Allen bolts. 6 on the short side and 7 on the longer side. I also used some aluminium angle to support the rail on the short side.

Nicely done, thanks for the response. I'll likely cut out the cupboard and insert track stones. Trying to keep impact to the OG setup minimal

Awesome, that must have been quite the project! I'll probably aim for something a bit less "invasive"

Thanks for the tip! Very helpful to see their solution with the assymetrical track stones. I'll definitely take some inspo from that
