FAQ's Piggl BIKE SLIDE

Piggl BIKE SLIDE is designed to fit inside all SWB or LWB T5 and T6 Volkswagen Transporter vans (including T5.1 and T6.1) and is installed between the two rear wheel arches using the four exposed, existing floor mounting points in the van's floor. You will need to locate and expose the four mounting points circled in red below (which may be under your van's sub-floor), and remove the factory fitted lashing rings prior to installation.

Piggl BIKE SLIDE must be fitted onto a solid, flat floor - not the bare metal ribs of the floor as this will cause the furniture frame to bend and be unsupported. 

Included with Piggl BIKE SLIDE are all the bolts and fixings needed to securely build and install the unit to your van's floor. The frame can be unbolted, and the entire unit can be removed from your van if required, but we don't recommend doing this often as you will weaken the screw fixings in the wood. 

KOMBI SEATS: Piggl BIKE SLIDE cannot be fitted into a SWB or LWB Transporter with Kombi seats in place as it is too long. You need to remove the Kombi seats to use Piggl BIKE SLIDE. 

VW SHUTTLE: Piggl BIKE SLIDE is not designed to fit into a VW Shuttle as the interior panels may interfere with the fit of the unit. If you want to fit Piggl BIKE SLIDE into a VW Shuttle, then you will need to remove all seats, and have the skills and be prepared to cut into or remove the wall panels, some of the floor and the rear tailgate panel as these will prevent the furniture from being fitted. Piggl cannot accept responsibility for any parts broken or damaged in fitting Piggl BIKE SLIDE into a VW Shuttle and the responsibility lies soley with the buyer as Piggl BIKE SLIDE has not been designed for this purpose. 

We know that many of you want to sleep inside your Transporters whilst keeping your mountain bikes safely out of sight and secure with you on overnight stays.

In its closed position, Piggl BIKE SLIDE is a flat 2005 x 1200mm platform that can be used as a double bed, or you can attach fork mounts to fit your bike(s) onto one side of the platform, whilst sleeping alongside them on the other side on a single mattress - the choice is yours.

For a double bed, we suggest adding an inflatable mattress which you can find in the accessories section of our website here ↠

NOTE: Piggl BIKE SLIDE cannot be used to stand or sleep on whilst extended out of the tailgate of your Transporter.

NOTE: The pair of sliding runners for the top platform will be delivered to you separately, direct from our supplier, as they are too large to fit onto the pallet with the rest of your delivery. We cannot guarantee that delivery will be on the same day as your pallet (although we will try our best to co-ordinate it if we can). You will need to be available to accept the delivery and they will require 2 adults to move them as they are very heavy.
