If you own a Hiker Trailer with a Tongue Fridge Box and a 35 to 52 liter fridge, this custom-fit Tembo Tusk aluminum slide is the answer. Designed specifically for smaller fridges, the inside pan measures 17 by 31.5 inches with the slide extending 4 inches beyond the fridge box so your lid opens completely. This is Option 2 — if you have a larger 60-liter fridge, see Option 1 instead. Made to order from aluminum in the USA with an approximately 15-day lead time.

Engineered specifically for the Hiker Trailer Tongue Fridge Box with a narrower pan optimized for 35 to 52 liter fridges.
The slide pan extends 4 inches beyond the fridge box so your fridge lid opens fully and unobstructed every time.
Accommodates fridges less than 17 inches wide and 20 inches tall. Inside pan of 17 by 31.5 inches is sized for compact fridge models.
Built from aluminum in America. Made to order with an approximately 15-day lead time.
The Hiker Trailer Tongue Fridge Box is a great solution for overlanders who want their fridge stored externally on the trailer tongue. But finding a slide that fits properly — especially for smaller 35 to 52 liter fridges — requires a purpose-built solution. This Tembo Tusk aluminum slide is designed specifically for that application, with a narrower 17-inch inside pan that keeps your smaller fridge from sliding around.
The 4-inch extension beyond the fridge box is essential — without it, the fridge lid would not clear the box edge. If you have a larger 60-liter fridge, check Option 1 for a wider inside pan. Note: This is not a Hiker Trailer product — it is manufactured by Tembo Tusk. Pair it with Tembo Tusk fridge straps (sold separately) to secure your fridge during travel.
The Aluminum Slide arrives ready to install into your Hiker Trailer Tongue Fridge Box. Position the slide in the box, secure it, and place your fridge on top. The slide pan extends 4 inches outside the box so the fridge lid clears the edge and opens fully.
Do not forget to pick up fridge straps to secure your fridge during transit. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help.
