I’ve been looking at the FortyWinks sliding tray here Slideaway | Forty Winks but they want an eye watering £1100 for it, i’ve got their bed but £1100 seems really expensive ..can anyone recommend a cheaper option ?
Sliding Tray for Kombi T6.0 - Which one to go for ?
I've been thinking the same thing. Even considering swapping with a second hand Ovano or similar... Following with interest
Look pretty cheap online, £50 a pair not exactly £1100 worth of materials
£135 for a set of 220kg locking 1400mm full extension drawer slides.
£1100 is a lot of money for that, imo. It does look quite well made, to be fair. And out of metal. But honestly, building a functionally identical one out of 18mm ply would cost about £300 max, I recon. Including the drawer slides.
Here's one I made earlier...

There's a few other options, ply guys, ovano etc.
the etc. part is the info I need ?
https://www.theplyguys.co.uk/product-page/vw-caravelle-slide-out-storage-tray-1 found this for half the price of the fortywinks ..any other companies people know of ?
Fyi that one only fits the caravelle with the specific seat rails.
Those are only 305mm long that'll be a short tray lol
I've just built one for my van , used 1320mm long ones from Vadania and they were around £115
any chance of some photos and a quick description on how you did it ?
Look on the what have you done to your van thread I posted a couple the other day.
I own a joinery business and have used this company for draw runners marking large understair units etc. Good quality and good on price. For a DIYer you can also buy the Hex faced board and can get cut up from say Cut Edge and Bond, just work your measurements out and they will get it up for you and deliver it.
Hope that all helps.
I've built this as part of a whole bed system. I reckon you could make with one 8x4 sheet of Hex ply, unless you were particular about the direction of the hexagon pattern and happy with a join in the side pieces, otherwise you would be into a second sheet. It costs about £160 a sheet, and as stated the drawer sides are £150-180 but necessary. The load reduces depending on the length of the slides, but I think you'd still struggle to reach the limit,

I was looking at the slide away as well to go under my forty winks bed, far too expensive in my opinion. I found this alternative, great company based in Tamworth, I bought a cool box off them and plywood.
