Abstract: A camping tent assembly for attachment to a van or for freestanding use is of a generally L-shaped configuration for direct attachment to the rear and one side of the van. The interior side walls of the tent which are demountably attached to the van include access openings to the rear and side van doors and collars to seal the interface therebetween. The interior side walls may be detached from the van without collapsing the tent, the van moved away, and conventional tent supports substituted to completely restore the tent to and allow its use in a freestanding orientation. A portable galley unit stored in the rear of the van and directly accessible from inside the tent provides a camping assembly for complete cooking, sleeping and living needs.
