Abstract
Methodology of simplifying the manufacture of a sliding support mechanism configured to support a slide-out of an RV by devising a shaft-and-pinion housing configured as a single-piece monolithic component that includes a hard exterior of the housing (with the co-axial first and second openings therethrough, which are dimensioned to accommodate the shaft). The housing is structured to have a separation distance between a first portion of the hard exterior carrying the first opening and a second portion of the hard exterior carrying the second opening to be dimensioned to reversibly receive the pinion in a space between the first and second openings.
