1. An air outlet, in particular for heaters or air conditioning units for recreational vehicles, comprising:
a main housing, wherein the main housing forms an air flow channel, said main housing defining an opening;
a flap suitable to seal the air flow channel in the main housing, wherein said flap is seated within the opening defined by said main housing in a closed state; and
a coupling mechanism coupling the flap to the main housing in a movable manner such that the flap can be moved with respect to the main housing between said closed state, in which the flap seals the air flow channel, and an opened state, in which the flap does not seal the air flow channel and said flap is substantially within said air flow channel, said coupling mechanism being located within said air flow channel;
wherein the coupling mechanism is configured such that the flap conducts a rotating and sliding movement within the main housing when being moved between the closed state and the opened state.
