I made mine also using #200 drawer slides. The first time I built it about 5 years ago I used 1x4 pt that I had laying around and a piece of old countertop from a remodel job. That lasted about 4 years then fell apart. I took the whole thing down to the weld shop and they fabbed a heavy duty metal pan and bolted it to the slides. Then they bolted some 3" aluminum angle to it and I screwed that to the floor. Works fantastic.
here is the new one




Did you fab the door as well . My Haulmark doesn`t have one . Was wondering who you got the hardware from ?

to get the slides i went to Moore Industrial Hardware in cinncinati oh. they have a website

i got some pretty heavy # slides that lock in or out, so it can't slide on its own. i think they was about $100 or so for the pair,dont quote me on that.

then i made a metal tray and riveted it to the slides.welded some angle on the outside to anchore it to the trailer.







This is where to get the slides, because they are heavy duty and will have a better chance of standing up to the vibration of the road and while the genset is running.

I don't think you will find any slides at Home depot like these. My

I found my generator door on ebay. It was less than a hundred bucks shipped with a buy it now price. Nice aluminum frame and fiberglass panel with a slide door/vent built right in. I can/t remember the nmae on it as it is out in the shop, but I can get the info tomorrow. Only thing it needs is the panel painted to match your trailer as they come in white. It is identical to the generator door on my brothers 2007 vintage trailer. Hope this helps, Beep

Did a little searching and found the info in my ebay account. The seller has an ebay store called Centralia Machine and the seller was 4ccenet. The listing was "24 x 36 polar white ventilated generator door with frame". In October they had 3 available. If you still need the manufacturer's name on the door, pm me and I'll get it for you.
