  • Publication number: 20220296042
    Abstract: A hitch-mountable grill and swing arm system is described. In an example implementation, the system may include a grill body including a hood and a base, a swing arm system, and an accessory mounting point connected with the swing arm system that may mount an accessory to the swing arm system separate to the grill body. In some implementations, the swing arm system may include a hitch arm adapted to couple to a hitch receiver of a vehicle, a swing arm coupled to the hitch arm by a pivot mechanism, a pivot lock adapted to stop rotation of the pivot mechanism, and a grill-mounting member detachably coupling the swing arm to the grill body.

  • Publication number: 20200131796
    Abstract: A tent system with utility rails is described. The hard shell tent system may include a first shell member, second shell member, utility rails, and an articulating mechanism. The first shell member may be adapted to mount to a roof of a vehicle. The second shell member may be adapted to mate with the first shell member and define an interior cavity when the tent system is in a closed position. The utility rails may be coupled to the second shell member and adapted to support items on top of the second shell member. The articulating mechanism may couple the first shell member to the second shell member and may transfer a weight of the second shell member and the utility rails to a roof of the vehicle when the tent system is in the open position.

  • Patent number: 9995055
    Abstract: An adaptable tent system is described. The adaptable tent system may include a base system having a rigid surface defining a perimeter edge and a canopy including a flexible membrane with a membrane edge and a canopy fastener, the canopy fastener extending along and fixably attached to the membrane edge, the canopy fastener adapted to mate with an interconnecting member fastener. The tent system may also include an interconnecting member including an interconnecting member body, an attachment member, and the interconnecting member fastener. The attachment member may be attached to the base member, so that the interconnecting member and base member are fixably attached together. The interconnecting member fastener may be configured to mate with any one of a plurality of different canopy fasteners so that when the canopy fastener and the interconnecting member fastener are mated, the interconnecting member and the canopy are connected.
