ABSTRACT:
A vehicle that is a motor home having a slide out body member that extends across an opening in the side wall of the vehicle body is disclosed. The slide out body member is capable of movement between a laterally expanded position during recreational use of the vehicle and a refracted position for travel of the vehicle on roads. The slide out body member has a primary wall portion covering at least a portion of the side wall of the vehicle body and end walls at each end of the primary wall portion extending back towards the vehicle body. The slide out body member also has a top and a bottom extending from the upper and lower edges of the primary wall portion back towards the vehicle body so that the space defined by the slide out body member opens into and forms part of the interior space of the vehicle body. The vehicle also includes a service connector in the form of a flexible conduit extending between the vehicle body and the associated service fittings in the vehicle slide out. It also includes a conduit organizer for guiding the flexible conduit to fold up and then unfold when the slide out body member is moved between the expanded and refracted positions.
