MORyde Sliding Trays

[ccsest]

I have purchased some of these trays for the pass through storage of my 2016 377RLBH. Has anyone performed this installation before? Are there any problems with the screws going through the floor and damaging something underneath?


Thanks in advance for your help.

No way to know that. I purchased a new rig with them factory installed. The wood screws were no longer than the floor thickness.
I would stick with that rule.

I installed the Morryde trays. Attached the link to the post.

I was very carful mounting to the floor. Used #14 hex head sheet metal screws. Just long enough to engage the wood.

When drilling holes in the wood. Used a deep socket over the drill bit. Only about 5/8" of the drill bit extended beyond the socket.

Once I drilled the holes. I checked clearance with a screwdriver.

Two other notes on the install.

One, I mounted an aluminum plate to the floor. Then mounted the slides to the aluminum plate. The slides are mounted to the plate with threaded machine screws. The plate is mounted to the floor with the #14 screws. If I need to remove the slides for some reason. I remove the threaded machine screws. I am not taking the #14 screws in and out of the plywood floor.

Two, I drilled out the tray stop rivets. Replaced the rivets with small counter sunk screws. This makes it very easy to remove the tray from the slides. This helps in gaining access to the utility area. Without removing the slides.

Thanks everyone. Do any of you know how thick the floor is?

Thank you for all the replies. My wife and I installed three trays in four hours yesterday afternoon, including taking everything out of the belly storage, putting it back in and clean up. The only problem we had was a nasty pinch for me. I picked up a tray right where the latch engages the frame. Painful mistake. Oh, one more mistake. I expected Lowes or Home Depot to have big boxes of the screws I wanted. I ended up having to buy a lot of small packages. I should have ordered for Amazon sooner.


By the way, the 36" trays only need four risers. Each riser kit includes six. I ended up with an extra box of risers.




Thanks again for your help.

Would be interested in a picture of the installation.

Thanks RDTC. The bay is messy right now as we just threw everything in after the installations were done. Here are the pictures.
