Your question is a little difficult to respond to without some additional info. For example: what is your box framed with,how large of a slide do you want and what type of slide?
I am building a toterhome with a 12' box on a W900. The small box is needed to keep from being over the 65' overall length law for RV's with the trailer I pull. So, to add space I am installing 2 opposing 7' slideouts. I looked at many slideouts in RV salvage yards and was not impressed with the quality so I deceided to build my own. I did purchase the slideout mechanisms and floor from Liftco. They sell many types and sizes of slides. I am using the wall mount touchless floor model. It can be ordered in various lengths. I custom built the box and framed the slide openings for them. I have installed one of the slide mounts and floor at this point. Not to diffcult to this point. I tried to upload some photos but I received an error. Will try again later. Look at the thread "installing the box". It has some photos that may give you some ideas.
