Slide out for a motor home

Abstract

A vehicle having a slide out includes a vehicle body having a wall including two side wall sections and defining a vehicle interior. At least one slide out body member extends across an opening in a side wall section of the vehicle body that is capable of movement between a laterally expanded position during recreational use of the vehicle and a retracted position during use of the vehicle for travel on the roads. The slide out body member has a primary wall portion for covering at least a portion of the side wall section of the vehicle body and the body member also including end walls and a bottom and roof extending transverse to the primary wall portion in a direction into the vehicle body so that the space defined by the slide out member opens into and forms part of the vehicle interior. A support supports the body member on the body of the vehicle in a way that permits sliding of the slide out relative to the body of the vehicle between the expanded and retracted positions. A drive moves the body member between said expanded and retracted positions on said support.
