1. A device for supporting a frame in an opening of a recreational vehicle, comprising:
a guiding body configured to be attached to the frame;
a clamping body having a tubular coupling portion and a clamping portion; and
a fixing member having a threaded portion and a head portion;
the guiding body having a receiving region in which the tubular coupling portion of the clamping body is inserted such that the tubular coupling portion is movable along a longitudinal axis of the tubular coupling portion between a first position and a second position relative to the guiding body and rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the tubular coupling portion relative to the guiding body,
the guiding body having at least one stop which limits rotation of the tubular coupling portion about its longitudinal axis relative to the guiding body,
wherein the fixing member engages via the threaded portion into a counter element provided in the guiding body so as to be screwable in and out, and is connected to the guiding body in such a way that the head portion limits movement of the tubular coupling portion of the clamping body along the longitudinal axis of the tubular coupling portion relative to the guiding body;
wherein in a first locking position relative to the guiding body the fixing member restricts movement of the tubular coupling portion along its longitudinal axis to a range between the first position and the second position, and in a second locking position the fixing member forces the tubular coupling portion into the second position.
