The slide mechanism & control is by Lippert Components. It's a level floor system. I'll post some pictures of the project in different stages.

Wow is right. Looks like you added a slide where none had existed before and that's some serious "DIY".
Outstanding job.

Wow, and I thought I was handy. I'm humble now. I think even Diplomat Don will have to take off his hat to that. Live just down I-81 from you near Knoxville.
Great job,
Bob

Land of the free and home of the brave.
Ours is not to reason why.
Unbelievably bold and great work.
Are we to assume that big work shed is yours?
Wonderful, and the new paint is fine looking as well.

An EXCELLENT example of what one can accomplish when you put your mind and resources to work. You win the IRV2 improvement award of 2013. deSanford

That looks fantastic!
Do you mind sharing how much it costs you for parts and labour (or if you did much of the work yourself, how many hours you put into the project).
Let us know. Thanks.

I did the complete project myself with my better half keeping the work space clean. Entire cost of material was ruffly 5k. This included a new residential refrigerator & ceramic tile for the front section. Project took about 3 months working evenings & weekends.
