You can get commercial van type pull out rails, I had been looking at a similar idea to slide out my entire fridge,  hob unit when cooking,  but may just hinge it all off the bulkhead instead I think a slide out panel is a awesome idea, look forward to seeing this take shape! Maybe a cheeky little gas strut for some smooooth sliding action??  Mmm mmm! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite6" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":cool:" />Cheers Alistair</blockquote>
