Abstract
A slidable room having an improved slide-out assembly and an improved liquid sealing assembly at an interface between an opening in the recreational vehicle and an exterior wall of the room is provided. The slide-out assembly includes a stationary main frame assembly having a pair of support members held in a fixed parallel relationship, a single transmission mechanism fixedly interposed between the support members, and a slidable support assembly slidably retained in the pair of support members for extending and contracting the room. The liquid sealing assembly is disposed around the interface between the slidable room and the opening in the recreational vehicle's exterior wall. A first flange member is affixed to a top edge and side edges of the slidable room's exterior wall. A second complementary flange member is affixed to a top edge and side edges of the opening in the recreational vehicle. The flange members include adjacent protrusions for inhibiting the flow of liquid therebetween when the slidable room is fully retracted into the recreational vehicle.
