Fridge Slide - DIY

I've just picked up an Engel fridge for the back of the D3.

I need to keep the load divider (that goes front to back of the boot) in place, so I'm thinking about having the fridge on a slide out, with some sort of "roof" over the fridge which I can stack other stuff over.

I've seen a few posts with people trying to get hold of strong enough slide out runners.. does anyone have a link to a pair that they have used?

Also - how much air space would the engel need around it to allow for operation? I don't want it overheating Very Happy

Thanks Thumbs Up

Ah didnt think to look in B&Q! Thanks.

Is that just a ply floor between the runners that the fridge attaches to?

How would you attach that to the floor of the Disco?

Cheers Thumbs Up

No i made an ally frame up and it just gets fixed to the eyelets fixings, in the 130 i bolt it to the floor and same in the trailer dose not get used a lot in the D3 some times when i go to Morocco i just weld it to the ally floor i put in that way it never move but i know you cannot do that in the disco there are a few bits on the site what people have done. You cold make a plywood box and tray screw it to the side and fix the fridge to the tray so it slides in and out
