Auto sleeper parcel shelf

Post by Jeff J »

Does any one know of a roller rear parcel shelf that will fit an Autosleeper instead of the wooden one that is fitted. Thanks

Where is it supposed to roll to? It is cut to shape.

I would like one that I could fit the holder across the back of the current runners/shelf supports & then pull out towards the door. Getting a bit old to lift the solid one in & out. I'm not particular that it fits exactly, there seems to be so many different ones available but they never have dimensions supplied.

Hi,
I have never actually seen one on rollers but I solved the problem of the large shelf years ago. It was a pain trying to move that large lump of ply around in a confined space.
I cut the shelf into 4 pieces, crossways.
At 'sleepy time' we just take it out bit by bit and the pieces can either go in the high top or just stand on end in the cab. Still use the same supports at the side.
Hope that helps.

Thanks, yes that is plan B & the only other thing I can think of doing if all else fails :) I might even get some piano hinges & turn it into a folding one but that just adds to the weight even more :D
