    Just finished installing a 48" X 90" double slide-out tray (slides both ways) in the basement. Got tired of not being able to get to the stuff in the middle with out removing all the other stuff. Also, installed a co-ax cable connector on the rear outside of the rig so I could hook the sat cable up without having to run 20' of cable under and to the side. This was an easy mod since we have the model with the rear slide-out and could easily pass the cable up into an inside cabinet that houses the Wally. We had purchased the Wally and a tailgater two months ago I would like to post pics of these, I have them on my phone but I cannot see how to do that. If anyone tries to do the tray install -- there is a cross brace under the tray and this needs to be taken into account when measuring the amount of height to be able to clear the door lip. I used a 1 x 4 and it works but it scraps the door jam a bit. Also, installed a new (larger) water softener that sets on the ground outside. We had one but it was too small and needed to be recharged more than once a week. Busy, busy. How did I ever get anything done before I retired? Now I need to clean up and get ready to take my Lady to a concert here in this RV resort.

    If an admin doesn't help you, email the pics to me and I'll post them here for you Dick.

    If you would mine; in the future, please title the thread something like "double slide-out tray mod" . That way, people can find what they are searching for.

    I got several emails from you but they were all empty.
    I believe there is a section here somewhere that explains how to attach photos to your forum posts.

    Here it is I found it...

    How do I attach a file to a post?
    To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'. To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.
    On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labelled 'Manage Attachments'. Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments. You can upload an attachment either from your computer or from another URL by using the appropriate box on this page. Alternatively you can click the Attachment Icon to open this page.
    To upload a file from your computer, click the 'Browse' button and locate the file. To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page. Once you have completed one of the boxes, click 'Upload'.
    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window. You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
    What files types can I use? How large can attachments be?
    In the attachment window you will find a list of the allowed file types and their maximum sizes. Files that are larger than these sizes will be rejected. There may also be an overall quota limit to the number of attachments you can post to the board.
    How do I add an image to a post?
    If you have uploaded an image as an attachment, you can click the arrow next to the 'Attachment Icon' and select it from the list. This will be inserted into your post and can be located where you want it displayed.
    To include an image that is not uploaded as an attachment and is located on another website, you can do so by copying the full URL to the image, (not the page on which the image is located), and either pressing the 'Insert Image' icon or by typing [img] before the URL and [/img] after it, ensuring that you do not have any spaces before or after the URL of the image. You can insert photos from your albums (?) in this way too.

    Davemathewsband -- thanks for trying. I will get a proper cable from Best Buy and try to download the pics from my cell to the pc and then download them here. My phone is too old to do a direct download.

    They needed to be cropped and resized so I did that for ya, no worries.
    Also, you'll have better luck posting photos (for most websites) if you will hold your phone
    horizontal instead of vertical, when using the camera.
