- Made from heavy gauge steel for serious durability and load support.
- Universal design fits most fridge slide brands, not just Tembo Tusk.

Why Choose the Tembo Tusk Universal Tilt Slide Adapter?
Already own a flat fridge slide and wish it could tilt? The Tembo Tusk Universal Tilt Slide Adapter gives you that capability without replacing your existing slide. Made from heavy gauge steel and designed to fit most fridge slide brands, this adapter mounts between your slide and the vehicle platform and tilts to a maximum of 28 degrees. Detent pins let you lock it flat for horizontal use, and pulling the pins engages the tilt. It was originally designed for Tembo Tusk slides but its universal mounting pattern means it works with Dometic, National Luna, and most other brands. Made in the USA with a patent pending.

Key Features
🔄
Universal Compatibility
Designed to fit most fridge slide brands on the market, including Tembo Tusk, Dometic, and others. If you already have a flat slide, this adapter converts it to a tilt.
📐
28-Degree Maximum Tilt
Tilts to a maximum of 28 degrees, giving you overhead access to your fridge contents without pulling the entire unit out of your vehicle.
🔩
Heavy Gauge Steel
Built from heavy gauge steel to easily support the weight of your fridge and slide — this adapter is engineered for serious, real-world use.
📌
Detent Pin Locking
Detent pins hold the adapter in the flat position for standard horizontal access. Pull the pins when you want tilt — simple and reliable.
From Flat Slide to Tilt Slide
If you have already invested in a flat fridge slide, the Universal Tilt Slide Adapter lets you add tilt functionality without starting over. The adapter sits between your existing slide and the vehicle platform, adding minimal height while giving you up to 28 degrees of tilt. This is especially useful in vehicles where the fridge sits low and pulling it all the way out is not practical.
The detent pin system is simple and effective — pins in for flat, pins out for tilt. No complicated mechanisms. The heavy gauge steel construction means it handles the weight of fully loaded fridges with ease. Pair it with Tembo Tusk accessories like fridge tie-down straps for a complete, secure setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit my existing slide?
The Universal Tilt Slide Adapter is designed to fit most fridge slide brands, including Tembo Tusk, Dometic, and National Luna. It was originally engineered for the Tembo Tusk Standard and Mid-Size Front Pull Slides but its universal mounting design works with most flat slides on the market.
How much height does this add?
The adapter adds minimal height between your slide and the bolt-down surface. The exact amount depends on your specific slide and mounting configuration. Measure your available vertical space before ordering.
Can I use the slide flat with the adapter installed?
Yes. The detent pins hold the adapter in the flat, horizontal position so you can use the slide normally. When you want tilt access, simply pull the pins and the adapter tilts up to 28 degrees.
Do I need the adapter if I buy the Tilt Slide?
No. The Tembo Tusk Tilt Slide has the tilt function built directly into the slide. The Universal Tilt Slide Adapter is designed for people who already own a flat slide and want to add tilt functionality without replacing it.
