After some advice on a fridge Slide, don't have the time and tools to make my own so need to buy one, wish I didn't 'have to as they are pretty expensive.
Was looking at the ORS (http://www.offroadsystems.com.au/fridge_slide.html) for $339
Ironman (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/400347093771?hlp=false) for $325
Basher (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Fridge-slide-40ltr-heavy-duty-100kg-slides-suits-engel-waeco-ironman-and-more-/251160886521#vi-content) for $280
My local 4wd shop stock the Black Widow (http://www.bwidow.com.au/fridge_slides/fridgeslides.htm) but its $400.
The Engel (http://www.engelaustralia.com.au/cgi-bin/product.cgi?item_id=530-540slide&item_string=) looks pretty basic for $320
I don't mind paying for quality. Its pretty had to tell the difference as up here no one really stocks any so I will have to order either online or from a store. There seems to be plenty out there, not paying $600 for the drop down, happy to stand on a step...
Thanks for any advice...

hi i have the engel slide it is basic but does the job,no rattles,easy to use.hope this helps
-
I thought the ORS one was pretty good, adjustable rollers to reduce rattle, high sides to stop the bag from catching if iirc.
-
black widow or engel would be my choice.
I have a home made one as part of my storage unit.
-
I don't know if they will fit the engel but a good price.

Highly recommend an ORS slide, based on the 60L Engel sized one that I've got sliding out of the walkway of a Lifestyle Extenda. I originally got an Engel, but found it too heavy and bulky (call it old technology), plus a clunky locking mechanism (vaguely recall it only locked on the closed position, and didn't lock when fully open? but don't quote me..). The ORS also fully extended, whereas the Engel only made it 80-90% of it self extended. Decided it wouldn't suit so we took it back and ordered the ORS sight-unseen and have been very happy with it.
Also consider ordering the "Just Straps" tie-down straps from ORS, they're excellent.
