Space is always at a premium for vehicle converters and camper van enthusiasts. Making the most of every square inch can transform a cramped van interior into a comfortable, functional home on wheels. Among the most popular additions are rock 'n' roll beds and Kombi beds thanks to their multi-functionality. Whether it’s transforming from seating to a full-sized bed or offering flexible load space, these bed systems excel in versatility. When paired with high-quality drawer runners, rock 'n' roll beds and Kombi beds can significantly enhance the usability and versatility of any vehicle conversion.
When it comes to selecting drawer runners for rock 'n' roll beds, the Accuride 7957, 9301 and 5321 models are highly recommended:
7957 Drawer Runners: Known for their strength and durability, these slides are well-suited for heavy-duty applications, perfect for holding heavy storage drawers under the bed.
9301 Heavy-Duty Runners: These are specifically engineered to support substantial loads up to 272kgs, making them ideal for van conversions where durability is key.
5321 Drawer Runners: A great choice for optimising space with a balance between load capacity and smooth operation.
These ranges are tested up to 80,000 cycles, assuring consistent operation, often for the vehicle's full life.
Accuride’s heavy-duty 9301 and 9308 runners can also be used in Kombi bed setups. While the Kombi bed itself doesn’t slide, the space below offers endless possibilities. Kitchen pods, storage units, or equipment racks can be mounted on drawer runners to enhance accessibility and maximise usage. These slide-mounted modules can be easily removed using front disconnect slides, transforming your van into a multipurpose space.
Drawer runners enable smooth, easy access to storage spaces providing an efficient and organised approach to vehicle storage. Here are a few reasons why drawer runners are essential for these conversions:
Smooth Operation: Drawer runners allow heavy drawers to slide in and out with minimal effort, perfect for stowing essential items beneath the Kombi bed.
Load-Bearing Capacity: Heavy-duty runners can bear significant weight, ideal for storing bulky items like camping equipment, tools, or spare parts.
Space Maximisation: Drawer runners help to fully utilise the under-bed space, which would otherwise be difficult to access, ensuring that every bit of space in the camper is utilised.
