Abstract
A vehicle such as a recreational vehicle includes a slide-out portion such as a slide-out compartment, slide-out patio, etc that moves between a retracted position and an extended position to increase the living space in the vehicle. The slide-out portion includes a second floor that is positioned adjacent to a main floor when the slide-out portion is retracted. A slide-out mechanism is used to move the second floor between the retracted position and the extended position. The second floor may be at least substantially flush with the main floor when the slide-out portion is in the extended position.
