Ready to install system for our Citroen Jumper Pössl 2Win Plus
One of the biggest installations in our van Lilly so far took place in the rear garage. It was clear to us after just a few trips, there has to be a good system in the "trunk" of our camper, which helps us to get to the boxes quickly and easily without having to clear everything out first.
The research took a little longer, because there are now several suppliers on the market that offer prefabricated systems for various extensions. In addition, there is a flood of do-it-yourself videos on the Internet, some of which offer really well prepared instructions for DIY. We have decided to buy a prefabricated system, because we have little or no space to tinker and we lack the necessary peace and time.
„I wanted a safe heavy-duty pull-out system for our rear garage quickly and reasonably affordably, on which our Euroboxes would also fit without any problems.”
Our rear pull-out rail system for more storage space
The choice fell on a 90 cm long heavy-duty pull-out, which was delivered ready assembled and only had to be screwed into the floor. But since we did not want to drill new holes in the floor or elsewhere in the van or glue something to the original floor, we installed an additional floor of pressboard in the already existing four threaded bushings of the lashing eyes in the floorboard and screwed the system directly to it. This fits great and is firm and stable even after our tours.
Since the floor area in our Pössl 2Win Plus (Citroen Jumper) is not, as is often the case with other vans, isosceles but very slightly trapezoidal and also has a recess on the right side, we had to measure very precisely. In addition, only the right side of the rear garage came into question for us, because left is the longer side, in which perfectly fits our chairs, our camping couch and our table.

Our tips - Clean regularly and load wisely
If you're planning to install a slide-out track system in your rear garage, it's a good idea to look into the following:
Vehicle Load Capacity and Handling: Take a close look at the gross vehicle weight rating and load capacity of your vehicle to make sure it can handle the weight of the slide-out system and the equipment you want to transport with it. In addition, we have found that just because it is a heavy-duty pullout, you still shouldn't fill the Euroboxes with infinite weight or place them hectically and ungently on the extended rail. Some caution is advised there, despite the compact and well-built system.
Weight and size of the slide-out system: Make sure that the slide-out system can hold the weight and size of the items to be transported (e.g. sleeping tent, shower, refrigerator, etc.) and that it fits into the rear garage.
Stability and Safety: Make sure the slide-out system is mounted stably and securely to prevent it from tipping over or being damaged during travel.
Electrical supply: Consider whether the slide-out system is electrically powered and whether it requires a separate power supply to ensure it can be operated while on the road.
Warranty and Service: Find out the manufacturer's warranty and service terms to be covered in the event of a problem.
Maintenance and care: The pull-out system and rails should be cleaned regularly. On our 2-month tour in 2022, the many spots by the sea involuntarily accumulated quite a bit of sand in the rear garage, which is not good for the rail system in the long run.
