Claim:
A recreational vehicle comprising: a main housing defining an interior living space having a floor located at a first level wherein the main housing defines a first wall having an opening formed therein; a slide-out housing having a floor and an outer wall positioned within the opening in the first wall of the main housing, wherein the slide-out housing is adapted to be movable between a retracted position wherein the floor of the slide-out housing is positioned at a second level above the first level of the floor of the main housing and the outer wall is positioned substantially adjacent the first wall of the main housing and a deployed position wherein the outer wall is extended away from the first wall of the main housing and the floor of the slide-out housing is positioned at a third level below the second level so as to be more planar with the first level; and a rotatable vertical movement member interposed between the main housing and the slide-out housing, wherein the rotatable vertical movement member is shaped so as to define a narrow dimension and an elongate dimension and is rotatable between a first orientation wherein the rotatable vertical member directly engages the slide-out housing via the elongate dimension and a second orientation wherein the rotatable vertical member directly engages the slide out housing via the narrow dimension wherein the floor of the slide-out housing is at the second level when the rotatable vertical movement member is in the first orientation and is at the third level when the rotatable vertical movement member is in the second orientation.
