I just completed my first trip with it and I am beyond happy. Thrown my back out several times retrieving objects from the middle of the cavernous storage area that our Rage'ns have. This was a treat, heavy tools and genny in the middle, slid all the way out at waste height & voilà! , very nice and it slides out both sides. You lose about 3 inches of vertical storage and you have to be aware of the stink trap as it becomes a target for the moving items on the slide.
Drawback, it’s heavy, about 150# onto your pin weight but I have plenty of capacity there so no biggie.
There is a hidden benefit to the slide, the area on the left and right of the slide between the slide and walls becomes its own protected compartment for shovels, whips, folding tables, cattle prods, shotguns, harpoons, lightning rods, RPG’s and small rockets... whatever you are into that is under 8' long and 4-6" wide goes there and stays there. There’s also storage under the slide for crank handles, awning hooks, hoses, fireplace tools... anything under 2" tall can be secured under the slide with compression or spring hooks. What the slide consumes in space it gives back in spades.
Very happy with it even if I had paid $800, I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
Thanks for the feedback, now it's definitely on my list for all the reasons you mention. When I store my trailer I cannot get to anything on the passenger side, its up against the house. Access inside is via the ramp and if I need to get to that side of the storage I'm screwed.
