MORryde’s 60% extension cargo-tray family is designed to slide stored equipment toward the compartment opening, reducing the need to crawl into a deep RV pass-through bay. This editorial guide is based on current manufacturer information and practical RV-use considerations; RV Gear Scout did not perform hands-on testing.
Quick verdict
A sliding tray can transform access, but it also adds its own weight, concentrates loads through the mounting points, and reduces usable height. Choose from the exact MORryde size chart only after measuring the bay, door opening, floor structure, plumbing, wiring, frame members, and slide-room movement.
Measure the door opening and the whole travel path
The compartment interior may be wider than the access door. Measure the narrowest opening, usable depth, height above the tray, latch clearance, and the space required for the slide mechanism. Check both sides if the bay has opposing doors. A tray that physically fits inside may still be impossible to insert or extend.
The Lippert underchassis storage guide covers a different location where ground clearance matters. The BAL Hide-A-Spare guide shows why moving weight below the frame also demands careful measurement.
Payload includes the tray itself
MORryde offers multiple tray widths and lengths, and published capacities can depend on the exact model and installation. Add the empty-tray weight to the cargo placed on it, then compare the result with the tray, compartment, RV cargo-carrying capacity, axle, and tire limits. The lowest rating governs. Spread heavy items rather than loading one corner.
Installation is structural
Fasteners must attach to suitable structure, not just thin finish material. Before drilling, locate tanks, plumbing, wiring, heat ducts, frame members, and exterior surfaces. Follow the exact template, fastener, torque, and clearance instructions. If the structure is uncertain, have an RV technician inspect the bay.
Travel and daily use
Latch the tray completely before travel and secure individual cargo so it cannot strike the door or release handle. Keep fingers away from rollers and pinch points. Do not sit or stand on the extended tray. Periodically clean the tracks and inspect fasteners, stops, and the latch according to MORryde’s instructions.
Owners organizing smaller items may also want the RVLock V4 guide when considering storage-bay security as part of the overall plan.
Bottom line
A 60% extension tray is valuable when accessibility matters more than maximum raw compartment volume. Correct sizing, structural mounting, honest loaded-weight calculations, and positive travel latching determine whether the upgrade is safe and convenient.
