Abstract

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.
