Slide out Battery Trays - Who has installed them?

My batteries are 2 Group 27 that are in a storage bay set in width wise. It is a job to maintain and check battery water levels as they have to be removed from compartment to do this.

Any of you ever install the sliding battery trays, and if so, how did it work out? Any Pics of your install?

I found these that look pretty stout.

I was thinking about model SP60-041....this should fit 2 Group 29 Marine Deep Cycles (ex. Walmart Everstart Maxx 29DC)

Thanks

    Lucky folks. My new Winnebago has a nice, well made sliding tray holding the batteries....but the access hatch is too small for it to slide out through! Grrr!

    Several of us here have done some kind of battery compartment/slides modifications. Check Kwikee for battery trays as well as MorRyde.

    I was able to take the OEM tray and put it on Heavy Duty Double Extension drawer slides from Home Depot. Others have used similar slides to support existing trays, or have made tray bases from plywood.

    Lots of possibilities. Can you post a pic of the area you want to work on?

    I made mine. Heaviest 24" ball bearing drawer slides at HD. 3/4" plywood for tray and sides. Because of the lip in the cabinet the tray sits high, making it tricky pulling the tray out, but it does work. Used the existing hold downs. Varnish the plywood good for water protection, going on 7 years now. First mod I did on this unit.
