  • Patent number: 12097796
    Abstract: An expandable camper trailer includes a frame, a body structure supported by the frame, and a roof structure covering the body structure. The body structure includes a left sidewall assembly and a right sidewall assembly that are each formed from panels. The panels are hinged so that the panels may pivot or rotate to convert the camper trailer between a folded configuration and an expanded configuration. In the folded configuration, outer rear panels and outer front panels are parallel to and overlay adjacent base rear panels and base front panels. In the expanded configuration, the outer rear and outer front panels are hinged outward to a position substantially perpendicular to the corresponding base rear and base front panels, while middle panels may be hinged downward to increase the size of the camper trailer.
