Hi there

sorry can't help you with the wardrobe slider.  We are in the same boat we need one for a conway cruiser.  Did you manage to source one cheaper than pennine were quoting?  any help would be great. 

I believe Pennine & their dealers are the only source. Someone was hoping to make an extruded aluminium alternative but I don't think he got enough response to make it worthwhile.

I don't really understand the comment "gaining a great storage space" really - you're losing storage but gaining an extra top (which would gather c**p in my case).

Or ... how about dumping the cupboard altogether and gaining a great storage space ... what we are doing! Never used the cupboard that much as needs to be lightly loaded for transport ...

Crazy Clive our Pulman 1993/4 tall cupboard is attched but what looks like Curtain Track (i'm sure it is) wether this is standared fitting or a home made job I've no idea, but it works. I've some pics I made up as a help to explain.

first a pic of the curtain tracks  1 2 &3 the sliding track

2nd  track 1&2 put together & 3 sliding track turned over

3rd  the turned over sliding track is slipped over where tracks 1&2 come to-gether,this is the piece that a bit of piano hinge is attached with VERY SMALL nuts and bolts, as the bolt heads are inside the sliding track and need to be very small or they'll stop the track sliding (might need to file the heads) once the hinge is fitted

Hi Jock

will pass photos on to himself and see if this would work for us.  Many thanks.  Bonnyrigg

A very interesting thread... our Pathfinder's wardrobe sliding hinge is intact but only barely. We were surprised how shoddy the arrangement was. The screws that attach the slider section to the "wood" have very little grip. It makes  access and assembly a much more delicate operation for a fatty like me than ever is shown on the promotional videos! Trying to negotiate it sometimes reminds of of a game of Twister!

I've been thinking we'd be far better off with the empty space on top of the fridge too. I have a collapsible camping larder that would fit there very well and I can take that into my house to load up pre-departure, store it where the cupboard is for transport but easily remove it to open the fridge or start the toilet assembly. Can't do that with the "wardrobe".
