Mobile living quarters, such as manufactured housing or a recreational vehicle, is provided with a structure defining a main living quarters and a slide out room which is extended from the main living quarters when the unit is used, and is retracted into the main living quarters when the unit is to be transported. An actuation mechanism extends and retracts the slide out room, and a pivot mechanism is used to tilt the slide out room slightly in one direction when the slide out room is drawn into the main living area to thereby compress a seal between a sealing area on the slide out room and a sealing surface on the structure defining the main living quarters. When the slide out room is moved to the extended position, the slide out room is tilted in the opposite direction to thereby compress a second seal between another sealing area and a sealing surface.
