SLIDE-OUT ROOM MECHANISM FOR A VEHICLE A slide-out system having a first and second slide-out assembly which are fixed to a first and second side of a slide-out room respectfully. Each assembly preferably includes an upper and lower gear rack fixed to the respective side of the slide-out room. An electric motor is connected to a drive gear that engages the top gear rack, driving movement of the slide-out room. This movement is distributed or synchronized with a lower portion of the room by an axle having a top gear engaged with the top gear rack and a bottom gear engaged with the bottom gear rack. Since the axle is not directly connected to the motor, it acts solely as a secondary synchronization mechanism between the top and bottom of the room. Figure 1 --- 103 Figure 7 c 154 Figure 8 |
