Grab gear without crawling into the bay with 29 inch wide RV cargo slides. This width works well for bulkier items like a portable refrigerator while still fitting many pass-throughs—just confirm your door opening and sill clearance. Install is straightforward and the slide makes heavy items easier to reach and organize.
Possibly. A setup with 2 1/2" from floor to the frame edge needed a height adjustment kit. Another installer used 1x4 spacers to gain clearance. Measure floor-to-obstruction height and compare to the slide's installed height so the tray clears the pass-through sill when it extends.
Installation is generally straightforward. Clear instructions and installs under 30 minutes including unboxing were reported. A helper is recommended due to size and weight. Dry-fit first, mark holes, and confirm elevation and side placement before bolting down to keep the tray square and sliding smoothly.
Many 29 inch wide RV cargo slides are rated 800 lbs. Unit weight varies by length; a 72" x 29" option weighs 117 lbs, and another similar option was about 139 lb. Confirm the exact weight for your size. Include the slide's own weight in your storage plan and any axle or tongue weight calculations.
A 29 inch wide cargo slide needs a door opening wider than 28". A 28" opening is too narrow and calls for a narrower width like 26". Measure the clear door opening, not just the compartment. Compare your measurement to the slide's overall width, not the tray interior size, and review the fit diagram.
Yes, adding a slide in a front compartment can increase tongue weight, though it may not equal the full unit weight. If your dry tongue weight already exceeds your weight distribution system's rating, upgrade the spring bars. Recheck loaded tongue weight after installation to verify you're within range.
