Slide out drive assembly for enclosure

A slideout assembly in an expandable enclosure, the slideout assembly comprising:

• a first drive assembly comprising a beam attachable to the slide out, a drive gear, and an actuator,
• the beam having a first row of teeth extending along on a first side of the beam and a second row of teeth extending along an opposing second side of the beam, the first row of teeth and the second row of teeth extending parallel to each other on the opposing first and second sides of the beam, wherein the teeth in the first row of teeth are offset relative to the teeth in the second row of teeth,
• the drive gear having a first gear wheel engagable with the first row of teeth and a second gear wheel engagable with the second row of teeth, the first gear wheel and the second gear wheel being mounted on a drive gear hub that comprises a stub shaft extending axially outward therefrom, and
• the actuator coupled to the beam to selectively extend and retract the beam;
• at least a second drive assembly comprising a beam attachable to the slide out and a drive gear,
• the beam having a first row of teeth extending along on a first side of the beam and a second row of teeth extending along an opposing second side of the beam, the first row of teeth and the second row of teeth extending parallel to each other on the opposing first and second sides of the beam, wherein the teeth in the first row of teeth are offset relative to the teeth in the second row of teeth, the first gear wheel and the second gear wheel being mounted on a drive gear hub that comprises a stub shaft extending axially outward therefrom, and
• the drive gear having a first gear wheel engagable with the first row of teeth and a second gear wheel engagable with the second row of teeth;
• and
• a cross member that couples the first drive assembly stub shaft to the at least second drive assembly stub shaft, wherein the first drive assembly actuator drives the at least second drive assembly.
