Grease-free pull-out feature

Busbox with pull-out drawer and integrated cover in a campervan conversion.

Simply rebuild the sleep box with pull-out sleeping surface for your camper
We have built a sleep box and completely dispensed with greased pull-outs, saving weight in the process.

Simple, practical and resistant to sand, dirt, dust and moisture. This is due to the drylin linear rails from igus, which are lubrication-free and insensitive to weather conditions.

You can find the used products and drawings online.

Step 1:

Preparatory measures
We need a few tools in addition to the items in our parts list. These include: A cordless screwdriver, a jigsaw, router or CNC router and a grinding machine.

Step 2:

Sawing the pull-out sleeping tray to size
We bought the screen printing plates in the DIY store. They are made of birch and pine wood in the dimensions 1250x2500x15.

Please refer to our drawing below to see how to saw which panel.

Step 3:

Installing the profiles and rails
Installing the profiles and linear rails is relatively straightforward. The rails do not require lubrication and run without lubrication. Fingers stay clean during assembly.

Step 4:

Inserting the boxes
We used the blocking bars from our screen printing plate to insert and assemble the boxes. This gives the box the necessary support.
