DIY Slide Out Room - Expedition Truck Build #6
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Our DIY slide out room needs some adjustments. In this video, I build some brackets with nylon rollers to keep the slide out room frame parallel and square as it extends.
Incorporating a slide out room into our expedition truck build has taken a lot of thought and consideration. Although this method may not be the most obvious solution. I think the slide out will perform well in the long run.
Thanks for watching!
Was trying how to figure out an easy slide out assembly and you have just saved me hundreds of hours of just how the fudgesicles lol I'm going to do it thank you and love how you showed how easy it was to make decent adjusters thank you
Nothing crude about your work mate...........Top notch!
I have been trying to find a decent slide out build video. This was excellent, thank you!
At 6:10 - I would haved suggested a rail with skateboard wheels on each side of the rail. This way you maintain alignment on both axis - perpendicular to the chassis frame and the smooth sliding on wheels. This would be 4 set of wheels for the slide-out's further distance from the chassis and 2 set of 2 wheels for the frame closest to the chassis. The rail would use C- Channel where the open side of the C channel is facing towards the ground. The slide out needs to be insulated on the floor. Which means the slide out bottom would have to accommodate the added materials for the insulation. Saying this, the slide out would be better supported from the bottom not the top. Thumbs up.
You may say crude. But many parts on new trucks are crude as well. So, it' excellent engineering and the art of building things from scratch in front of us. Looks great. Looks like it works great too.
This is a good observation. If it works it works.
Excellent - I am envious of your up coming adventure!
If you have not thought of it already. I would also use some lithium grease. Also make sure your Teflon holding screws are recessed 2 or 3 mil. Round out your lower steel lip where all the weight is going to press the Teflon into the steel so it wont dig in. See if attach the upper portion in such a way you can leave it in a remove the slide portion for service if necessary.
Yes , this will be very interesting to see with weight on it. My rule of thumb with electric motors, which I to apply to an actuator(never) is to use on that is rated twice or the power needed for the job.
Wishing you all the best and now watching your progress.
Cheers
Excellent! That is so cool and a very well explained clip. Will be interesting to see how it performs with the added weight.
Thank you! Yes I'm interested to see how it goes with the extra weight. I may end up adding removable support legs which can be installed once its extended. Thanks for watching
25인승 캠핑카 확장형을 만들려고 하는데 많은 도움이 되었습니다.
정말 멋진 아이디어이고 당신의 추진력에 경의를 표합니다.
멋진 캠핑카 제작을 응원합니다.
Hay mate I have recently bought a 10 tone man tgl lorry and have been watching videos for a long time. Your have everything explained very well. Just want to say keep up the good work ill be following the whole thing 👌🏻
Thanks mate! Good luck with the lorry!
Maaaaaate. I just stumbled upon your channel, and wow! You have some serious projects.
I can wait to check out the rest of your content.
One Life, One Search,

I watch this video of yours sir! I love what you did.
Very nicely done, Dan. (I'm learning stuff I never knew I wanted to know!)
Hahah thanks Geof! I'm glad I can facilitate
Love the ingenuity...well done.
Confused. Looks great for a pop out deck but walls?
I really like the camper life
can you link all the parts u used for the slide out i want to build one someday
Admirable problem solving.
0:42 Didn't know what a whatboard was until he filmed it and said "okay welcome to the whatboard"
Delighted to watch
bro love your videos......
Hi ....great idea
Can I ask where you found a linear actuator with that much stroke
If possible can you share a link as I am wanting to convert my pop up camper lifting arms with linear actuators
Such a awesome build! WHat will you do if the cylinder breaks and you are on a narrow path in a remote area :)
Good question! If it breaks while the room is extended I can use a ratchet straps or hand winch to pull it back in, if it breaks while it's in the closed position I can just remove the actuator and get it fixed or replaced
Such a fascinating build. Andy UK
Thanks bro❤
Really great idea I’ve been contemplating how to do this for a while I hope you don’t mind me borrowing some of your ideas ,?
Not at all
hy buddy, im from noth of brazil, and im building a mh, nice job, i wnt 4 slide in my mh...good luck man
Awesome! Thanks for putting this together.
Curious what the cantilever length is relative to the total length of the frame? Also what are you using as the room's floor?
Total length is 2.5m, cantiliver length is 1.5m. It will need a support leg
@@dancampion Thank you!
Wow that is a long actuator! How long is it actually and for how much do they go for if you don't mind me asking. Great work btw!
I'm not sure of the total length, about 1.5m, it cost about $700 AUD
Brilliant!
Beautiful design! What is the step motor do you use?
I used HAX linear actuators. I'm making a video focusing on the linear actuators so keep an eye out for more info
Really nice work.Only one question,the teflon sliding system not stucking in the steel profil?Moving easy?
So far so good. It's teflon on stainless steel so should be fine
Can do a video showing step by step building a slide out room
I can but I'm not sure when I'll be making another one. I've been thinking about writing a step by step guide
Hi Dan, what actuator did you use? Love how much it helped!
I got the actuators from HAX on Alibaba
Why not use 2 actuators with encoders? That way you will now the position and keep it square?
I dont get it, how are you going to build anything on a frame that retracts underneath the Floor???
May be he will remove the top frame which is blocking the bottom one then also he will loose few inches on either side but I think it’s nothing with all the extra space it creates
This is so awesome :o
Thanks!
Hi, I want to make a smaller version of this (approx 36” wide by 24” depth) Can you tell me how I can do this and what I would need to buy? No one near me in ARizona understands what I’m asking to do and tJ is is exactly it! Any advice
Where did you learn how to weld?
Genuine question: isn’t it a bad idea generally to have a slide out in an expedition truck that’s going off road?
We're going to find out. Trying to push the boundaries
1304 both sides!
I can save you time and effort instead of bearings use wheels like on a train.
