Abstract
A slide-out room assembly for mobile living quarters, such as a recreational vehicle, includes a pair of side walls, a ceiling wall, and a floor wall, all of which are received in corresponding sockets in a frame that extends around the outer edges of the side walls, floor wall and ceiling wall. The frame includes an outwardly extending flange that engages the side wall of the main living quarters when the slide-out room is retracted. The outer wall panel is bonded to the flange by an appropriate adhesive and encloses the end of the slide-out room defined between the ends of the side walls, ceiling wall and floor wall. A raceway is provided in the frame that extends around ends of the side walls, floor wall and ceiling wall to permit the necessary electrical wiring to be routed around the end of the slide-out room.
