VanLife Slide Out Storage Platform
After our first big trip, a 9,000 mile tour all the way from North Carolina to the Montana Rockies and more, we learned that it was a giant pain to access a lot of things in our garage area: tools, firewood, outdoor cooking equipment, shovel, dog food, etc, etc. So we set out to build a cargo slide that makes access easy.
We found lock in/lock out 500lb slides by Fulterer (model 5400L) for less than $200 a pair at Ovis for a full 48” 100% extension. We had an unused aluminum bed frame we used as a support structure and attached the slides to the frame.
The bed frame also had very sturdy 1/2” plywood that we cut to size and re-used, attaching it to the frame with bolts and threaded wood insert nuts. 1/8” aluminum angles finished the assembly (with holes drilled for tie-down attachment points).
The slide was attached with 4 mounting brackets also ordered from Ovis. We used two 3/8” stainless steel bolts at the back of the slide support rail where it takes the most stress when the slide is fully extended. We drilled through the vehicle and secured the bolts with a large washer and nylock nut. Elsewhere, each slide brackets is secured with 6 1” cabinet screws that are screwed into our 1/2” plywood floor. (Foam underneath so the screws do not touch the vehicle.A small aluminum angle trim piece was installed on the front lip to protect the plywood and a small hole drilled in the front right corner to allow access to lower the spare tire (Ford Transit).
Finally, our cargo mat was trimmed to fit (with a little bite out of the corner, but we can live with that.
Total project cost (aided by using surplus frame and plywood), about $325

Blood On The Rooftops (GENESIS) - full band music and dramatic interpretation.
Переглядів 120 тис.3 роки тому
This has always been a very moving song for me. During the isolation times of COVID I decided to interpret this song visually and musically, essentially on my own. Gratitude to #SteveHackett and Genesis for this and all of their wonderful music. Guitarist Steve Hackett has been one of my favorite guitarists for many years. A sensitive player with a fondness for intricate harmonies and lovely me...
Happy Holidays Merry Christmas from Lora and Sally

Isso que é sucesso, uma de 50 anos composta quando eles tinham (+/-) 20 anos e sendo reproduzida com as mesmas qualidades da época. Vale a pena ter bom gosto, o Genesis,Pink Floyd, Yes ...., só faziam otimas musicas.
Brilliant, very well done!
Isto é uma heresia
An excellent cover which captures the song and it's meaning well.
Great!
Sally you are amazing! You play beautifully and did it to my favorite Genesis tune. I truly do admire your classical chops. Mr. Hackett would love you version as well. I'm certain of that.
I’ve seen this before, so very clever of you, very clever indeed. Thank you.
This is great. Heard it years ago.
Wow! Wonderfully done. Cleverly done. Beautifully performed! This is my favorite track from that record and probably my all-time favorite Genesis tune. Its haunting, pensive, melancholy quality is mesmerizing.
Watching on 11/11/24. Beautiful and timeless, inspirational, uplifting and joyful! Thank you for recording, thank you for performing, thank you for uploading. This beauty is so needed to keep one's heart and spirit uplifted.
Arabs and Jews... trend news again
Nice
Fantastic - well done! Love the 2001 reference.
Nice fireplace & feline. This was a treat to view. Such a great song and visual interpretation. Glad this popped up on my recommendations.
Le faccio i miei più sentiti complimenti per questa emozionante interpretazione...
Beautifully played.
I stumbled upon your video here today. I am truly amazed by the level of commitment you put into this! Absolutely well done! This music means a lot to me personally. I'm sure you had a blast performing this and putting together the editing. Again so very well done. Thank you for this. 👏😎
Hauntingly beautiful. Thank you. ❤️
Fantastica !
Fantastic
Hey 😃 you've got a minimug! Great. I've got one too... and by the way, absolutely brilliant performance of one of my favourite songs!
Absolutely love THIS!! Keep them coming...
wow!
This has made my day. Can't wait to show people. I love the "old Britain" feel to the visuals - so I was surprised to see you're in U.S.
Very moving...Perfect.
Very nice indeed
thank you, Sally i love you so much max
This is perfect
Masterpiece,
A beautiful and moving rendition
You are beautiful , such a nice cover !
Exceptionally well done. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you.
My day is beyond enriched for having found this masterpiece Sally 💞🕊️ Bought this album in the UK 1977. Thanks for the memories, such an awesome Gift you have here 🌟
Married me ❤❤❤
Wow! This is incredible. One of my favorite Genesis songs. The imagery right on.
I loved this video and interpretation!!!!!!!
Just great! Wonderful!
Wow. So much talent and so much effort has gone into this. Really very impressive. Well done and thanks! ☺️👍
I wish I had your musical talent, but I also wish I had your cinematic talents. Wait a minute... you are my age so I don't need to yearn for a 35 year age reduction pill this time! I'm just an old hippie music lover... Good stuff, Milady.
Putting that much into it, I could listen to you do Genesis early works all day. I'll bet Steve might even think that you do Hackett better than Hackett.
This was wonderful! I really enjoyed this! You're very talented and clever the way you put this together. So well done!! I assume you played all the instrument parts as well. I've always loved this song too. Great work!!
Holy shit this is amazing 🤩 I love everything about it!
❤❤❤
Annie sempre un usignolo !!!
👏👏👏
This has been in my head for a year. I had the album in 1976. Thank you Sally. Really well done ! ‘Let’s skip the news boy. I’ll make some tea. Arabs and the Jews boy… Too much for me. They get me confused boy. It puts me off to sleep.’
Good evening good is for ever......
🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀 wonderfull
Ciao Sally, che bella sorpresa. Che bella interpretazione. Grazie! Peace and love!
Just gorgeous Sally xx
