  • Publication number: 20080129069
    Abstract: An improved, space-saving, vehicle slide-out is slidably supported on a vehicle chassis by a bearing mechanism and is selectively positionable relative to the chassis between retracted and extended positions. The slide-out includes, among other things, sidewalls and a cover assembly operable to cover the corresponding sidewall and the bearing mechanism while using a minimal amount of internal vehicle space. Each cover assembly includes a base segment that at least partly receives the sidewall, with the base segment and sidewall cooperatively defining a gap. The cover assembly further includes a shiftable cover segment that is operable to cover the gap.
