Abstract
A line carrier for supporting wiring and tubing extending between a vehicle and a slide-out room of the vehicle comprises an elongated strip of a flexible and material having a first end secured to a skirt of the slide-out room which extends below the vehicle floor and a second end which is pivotally mounted on a pivot pin extending below the vehicle floor. A plurality of retainers with line receiving holes formed therein are secured to the elongated strip. Wires or tubing are threaded through the line receiving holes in the retainers to connect or secure the wires and tubing to the elongated strip. When the slide-out room is retracted, the elongated strip forms a coil on which the wires and tubing are supported. As the slide-out room-advances to an extended position, the elongated strip uncoils and the second end pivots about the pivot pin.
