A slidable storage tray adapted to be hydraulically actuated between a retracted position wherein the tray is nested inside a vehicle's storage compartment and an extended position wherein at least a portion of the tray is located outside of the vehicle's storage compartment. The slidable storage tray is dual directional so that it extends from either a first side or a second side of the vehicle. The hydraulic circuit comprises a first hydraulic cylinder and a second hydraulic cylinder. The rod of the first cylinder is attached to the vehicle/storage compartment frame and the rod of the second cylinder is attached to the slidable storage tray. The two hydraulic cylinders are attached together so their barrels cannot move relative to one another. The two hydraulic cylinders are facing the same direction so that their rods both extend in the same direction.
A storage system comprising:
A storage system for use with a recreational vehicle having a frame, a storage compartment, a driver's side, and a passenger's side, said system comprising:
A method for moving a storage tray between a retracted position in which the storage tray is nested inside of a storage compartment, a first extended position in which the storage tray extends from a first side of the storage compartment, and a second extended position in which the storage tray extends from a second side of the storage compartment, wherein the movement of the tray is caused by a first hydraulic cylinder combined with the storage compartment and a second hydraulic cylinder combined with the storage tray, said method comprising the steps of:
