Is it possible to see a photo of the bed slider without the cushions (photo of the hardware)? We have a 2012 panther that we would like to install a slider to the bed.
[SIZE=18pt]Camper Slider[/SIZE]
[SIZE=18pt]Wander the West member tct requested information on the design and components of the cabover slider that increases the bed space. Ours is a narrow camper and we sleep north/south (parallel to the camper length) and therefore require a longer slider. Other campers are wide enough where the occupants can sleep east/west and require a shorter slider if you wish to increase bed width. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=18pt]The slider is constructed of 5/8" plywood with 3/4" thick of solid oak along the front edge.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=18pt]
[/SIZE]
[SIZE=18pt]The oak is notched to pull out along oak frame rails (braces) mounted with screws into the camper framing.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=18pt]The slider pulls out to a bump that keeps it from overextending.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=18pt]The bump is usually a small rubber pad with a screw down the center. Instead, I installed ebony end stops with the inside edge faced with felt.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=18pt]When pulled out, the slider plywood overlaps the cabover board by approximately 6" for support.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=18pt]The slider side braces (oak) top edge is flush with the cabover.[/SIZE]
