Expo Trailer OB9812

I like the slide-out system you're building. I'm definitely looking at making slide out drawers and a tray for my trailer and probably my landcruiser too at some point. Keep up the good work. I look forward to the build and what ideas I can steal from you. :)

Thank You!
The slide out will feature a built in pantry as well as a place for common cooking gear.
 
Do you have a weight target/limit? I'm always worried if I build a trailer, it will end up way to heavy.

I made some progress on the slider for my expo trailer over the weekend. Hope to have to have welding done on the trailer in the next week or two.

Love it. That is one heck of a slide. Will you have to put a support under the end? Are you running a central line for propane hookups?

I will have to put a leg of some sort under one end of it. I haven’t decided how I want to do the propane yet. Was thinking of running a line underneath with a quick-connect in the back to hook up whatever I needed at that point.

Looking good man. Are you using steel square tubing as your sliders for the slide out?
 
Yes sir. 1”square with skateboard bearings on top and bottom.

Cool. I had given skateboard bearings for some slides I've been thinking about. I've also been thinking about the bottom mount bearings as well. My work has some at the security checkpoint for sliding bags over after being x-rayed. I've not tried to sources them yet, so have not clue on the price. Just seems like maybe a good way to go since the weight of the whole slide is supported ultimately by the vehicle or table it is on.
