A method for detecting and dynamically updating an end stop position of a slide-out assembly comprises the steps of: synchronizing a movement of each of at least two slide-out actuators during an extension operation; detecting a decreased speed of each slide-out actuator of the said at least two slide-out actuators; stopping each of the at least two slide-out actuators when the speed reaches an end-stop position threshold; comparing a travel distance of the at least two slide-out actuators to the said last saved travel distance; and updating the said last saved travel distance to a new saved travel distance, if the travel distance is greater than or less than the last saved travel distance. A control system for detecting and dynamically updating the end stop position is also provided.

Method and system for dynamically controlling a slide-out assembly

A system and method are provided for configuring suspension ratios in a multi-rear axle vehicle, the vehicle having a drive axle suspension and at least one tag axle suspension, each suspension having one or more air springs. The timing of the performance of an adjustment cycle series of steps for adjusting the suspension height and air spring pressure readings is optimized by monitoring the acceleration of the vehicle and conducting the adjustment cycle steps when the vehicle acceleration is below an acceleration threshold. Additionally, air spring pressure adjustments may be scaled based on a confidence factor of the air spring pressure readings. Finally, a method is provided for configuring suspension ratios in a multi-rear axle vehicle, the vehicle having a drive axle suspension and at least one tag axle suspension, and for adjusting the air suspension pressures.
