Abstract
An expandable vehicle has slide-out sections in which one or more cog tracks are driven by a modular cog wheel drive assembly to move the slide-out sections in and out. The cog tracks can be integrated into the structure of the slide-out sections, and the slide-out sections are supported against tipping down both upon extension and retraction by a cable system that exerts a counter-moment on them in both directions.
