Abstract

An apparatus for a vehicle slide out room being movable through an opening in a side wall of the vehicle between a retracted position within a main living area of the vehicle and an extended position extending outwardly from the main living area includes first and second guide mechanisms, each including a first bracket mounted to the vehicle side wall adjacent an edge of the opening, a second bracket mounted perpendicular to the first bracket to an upper portion of a side wall of the room, a third bracket mounted perpendicular to the first bracket and parallel to the second bracket to a lower portion of the side wall of the room, and a linkage connecting the brackets such that the second and third brackets move substantially in unison relative to the first bracket as the room is moved between the retracted and extended positions. Each guide mechanism may further include a drive mechanism for moving the room between the extended and retracted positions, and a synchronizer linkage to ensure that both sides of the room move at the same speed during such extension or retraction.
