slideout

RV room expansion

A slideout is an expandable section of a recreational vehicle that extends outward when parked, increasing interior living space.

Most modern RVs have one or more slideouts containing furniture, appliances, or sleeping areas: We can't use the dinette until we extend the slideout.

The mechanism retracts for travel, returning the vehicle to road-legal width.
