I recently purchased a National Luna 90L fridge.
I looked at getting a ready made slide, but the mounting to the trailer was not compatible width wise. So I ended up having to Build my own. The first task was to find some slides. One of the requirements was it needed to be 36". The fridge is 32" and I needed another 4" to clear the rear door so the fridge could open all the way. After a bunch of researching slides I decided to use the following
I liked these as instead of lifting the handle to release the locking mechanism to open or close the slides, these you pull the handle to open and push the handle to close.
I began by designing the slide to be as low as possible to the bed and still clear the tail gate of the trailer. This would give the maximum height possible for the lid to open and not impact the door of the trailer.
I am using 3"x2" 3/16" Aluminum for the slide mounts and the trail support. Tray cross members are 2"x1" 1/8" Al and 1/8" Al Diamond plate.
