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 100 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

A very beautifull song with a precious interpretation, Congratullations!!!!
These were magical songs for magical days, days which are still so dear to us... you captured this wonderful song, its music and its atmosphere so brilliantly. The cat is priceless too!
unquiet slumbers Sally. my favourite album after Selling England,. I would dearly love to meet you.
Semi-orange cat has taste!
Lovely job. My favourite song by my favourite band. And you more than do it justice. Actually moved me to tears. Thank you. I hadn't listened to this song in a couple of years, but I had a dream about it. Mark Hollis was singing it, in my dream. It woke me up because I knew that it couldn't exist. I came on UA-cam looking for the original mix of the song, and found you. Thank you for the brilliant rendition.
P. S. Thank you for involving Peaty and Arwen, they make a lovely supporting cast.
beautiful played !
And I truly mean it…!!!
Hire this person immediately…!!!!!!
With all due respect to Zimmerman’s Dune could have used some of this…!!!
thank you. Actually, in Dune II the Continuum was used and Hans enlisted the help of Haken Audio's Edmund Eagan and Christophe Duquesne.
meandering as we do through the wonderful world of UA-cam, I sometimes - perhaps rarely - come across something that surprises me... and this certainly did! fantastic interpretation of a beautiful song. thank you, Sally
This is great.
I❤u
спасибо! Ваш кавер помог мне пережить эвакуацию в Украине
Thank you. I'm glad it is a comfort for you. I hope you and your family stay safe.
What a cover !!! Congratulations 😊
Congratulations... Really good .... gotta call the song for my cousin's funeral... It's near now. She's been cancer terminal for two months now
She is so good .........I have learnt so much from her Homespun Videos
A truly beautiful rendition of the original, enhanced by the thoughtful and subtle video presentation, and topped off with the equally beautiful outro! 🎶🎵❤
thanks. I extra appreciate that as the outdo was an easter egg and I was very pleased with how that went.
Fantastic...but please, everyone, just stop using Autotune for god's sake...It really does ruin the music
yes, I get it. But I'm not a great vocalist, so....
Superbe !
That was so so brilliantly creative and you are so talented! I really enjoyed that. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
i love GENESIS. i love this album. i love this video. WELL DONE MADAME.
One of my favourite genesis tracks. Enjoyed your rendition. ❤
Brilliant!
Sorry to be greedy, but can we get the full version of Unquiet Slumbers? And maybe Afterglow? And maybe the entire album? 😁
I do hope to do more. Studio is presently torn down during a prolonged move. Thanks.
Incredible. As a lifelong Genesis fan, I can't express in words how much I love this. Thank you.
I bow my head and take off my hat, I am very impressed, covering Genesis is so hard, excellent work, keep it up. Ich neige mein Haupt und ziehe meine Hut, ich bin sehr beeindruckt. Genesis zu covern ist echt schwer, sehr gute Arbeit weiter so.
💚🍀🏴
Love it. Different. Nicely put together with appropriate touches of English whimsy humour. The interesting thing is that it was written nearly fifty years ago and it is every bit as relevant today. Some things just never change. Sign of a classic. Well done.
Exceptional ❤
Wow. I'm 63 y. Genesis-Fan since 1977. This song is so special to me and this version is breathtaking. Thank you! 😘
Fantàstic
Wow what an achievement, you hit my heart dear lady , thank you for this nice gift
Incredibly talented lady Sally. Just wonderful. Thank you.
Wow ! just wow ! ...This is absolutely magnificent..what an interpretation and fabulous replication !

Abosolutely stunning. I can't imagine how long it must have taken you to put this together,. Genesis has always been my favourite band and you certainly did them proud. Many thanks.
That is wonderful! You've made my day.
OK, THAT was impressive. I knew this was going somewhere interesting when the weather report came on the TV...
i love this so much
Dayum! I won that album by being the 10th caller in the 70s. Still have it.
Chicken skin
GREAT MUSICIAN ! I love you !
This is amazingly fantastic😊
Awesome rendition of one of the most emotional track of genesis repertoir!!...congratulations dear ladies!!!
Lovely playing!
Kitty cat wants a fuss
elle est genial
That was awesome! I have been gathering all of the authentic keyboards and synths that Tony used, and want to start up a Genesis cover band...with a female vocalist! W&W will be highlighted, for sure. Won't you join me?
wow, impressive! I had an L100 but sold it a couple of years ago before moving. Good luck with the project!
@@SallySparks Thank you, Ms. Sparks! My hope is to show, with appeal and personal pleasure to others listening to their music that Team Geneais were and are extremely talented, and should be appreciated. And, just like looking into a kaleidoscope, performing their music with a female vocalist, will give the listener a new perpective of their music. So many of their songs seem perfectly suited for a female to singer. For "Follow You, Follow Me", I have conquered how to perform the three synth parts for my right hand with my ARP 2600, using all three oscillators independently (and yet of course my left hand is anchored to the Hammond) and using the female singer's voice being sampled on my Emulator II, the fourth synth/sampled tones, which were Tony and Mike doing falsetto "la, la, lahs" during the chorus. Just for the pieces on "Wind and Wuthing", having worked for pipe organ builders since my days in college, I am learning how to MIDI an organ pedalboard I picked up for $100 cheap, and be able to link it to at least five of my synths, so no sounds are left behind whilst performing "One For The Vine", an absolute beast of a song." I have already created a new, three-part Suite, using "Blood On The Rooftops and the rest of side two of W&W, but using Domino and completely rewriting the lyrics of The Last Domino, that instead of being some weird 80's apocalyptic vision as the tragic end to a relationship broken through infidelity. Of course it's not in a chronological order. But I think choreographing it all with a minimalist set used for performing the living room scenes of "Supper's Ready" would be fantastic. Anyway, I'll keep you posted.
Wow. Just WOW!
Steve Hackett would be very proud. Excellent job.
I hope he would. I so admire his work.
