pull-out trays for pass-thru storage?
Our "new to us" 1999 Damon Intruder has pass thru storage in the baggage area but no pull-out trays. I called my local rv salvage guy to see if he had any but no luck. I did a little online shopping...

I have not done it, but it does not sound like too complex of a project if you made it out of wood. The only expensive part would be finding the draw slide mechanism's. They can't be cheap.
well in reality it actually is a fairly complex project.If you make them out of wood by the time you get it all said and done there heavy and bulky and you loose a lot of floor space/
Make them metal like the ones you buy and I doubt you save a dollar
plus you really have to know how to weld and fabricate etc
Like I suggested the short small one are not a big deal but the 4x8 units are pretty complex and more than the average Rver could manage
Wouldn't be for me, then again I own a woodshop. Wood is going to be thicker than metal, but the difference in thickness is not going to take up a huge amount of space. No welding or fabrication skills required with wood. I'd use a combination of 1/2" and 3/4" plywood to make it. I'd make the bottom out of 1/2" ply and the sides of the drawer from 3/4" to make sure it was rigid. I'd then want some type of drawer slide that mounted to the bottom of the drawer to help support the weight better. It can be done.
yes can be done, no one said it cant but its a little more complex than what you opine.
A 4X8 plywood joey bed also requires a pretty hefty roller system
which is a lot more than a simple drawer system
and these in turn are heavy in weight etc.Also be it wood or metal or a combination(as in this case) it does require fabrication skills
You saw the part where I covered the issues with the drawer slides and even posted a link to price of some of them didn't you? You're trying to correct me by saying exactly what I said.
