    Nice work RLI and thanks for sharing.

    I noticed your excellent purchase didn't have a slide so you put one on top. I've seen a set that have the inbuilt slide on the RHS. Knowing what you know from the install, do you think the assembly of the draws would permit a swap of the slide side?

    I realise it might be a stretch but you seemed bloody handy and I reckon you'd have a worthy opinion.

    Cheers,

    My outback drawers has the built in slide on the RHS, ie behind driver. It was explained to me like this at the time; The slide wont work on the LHS if you only open the left hand barn door, as the door is too small, so you have to open both doors. If you have to open both doors then the slide may as well be on any side. If you want to access something else in the rear other than the fridge, to get something out, or put something in, then it is handy to just open the left door and do it, cant be done if fridge is on LHS.

    Saying that, my fridge lives on the RHS but can cause some issues with the rear door table I have, which I use to cook on or prepare on if on short stops. Can be sorted by removing things from the fridge first of course but something to keep in mind.

    Overall, I think I prefer my setup to the alternate side.

    Thanks Knorf, it's good to know the logic for a RHS install. We were thinking LHS because we can still get into the fridge with only the LH door open, but that's only good for the stuff in the top of the fridge. Of course that's not using the slide, and yes you most certainly need both doors open if you want to pull the fridge out.

    Each to his own I suppose but I appreciate the info. Cheers.

    GU - Installing Outback Draw System

    Hey just a quick question.
    Do these "proper" drawer systems incorporate the Child restraints??
