  • Publication number: 20080238138
    Abstract: Cocoon Camper is a two-unit camper consisting of a frontal vehicle and a rear camper section. The frontal vehicle and rear camper section are connected and locked together allowing the vehicle to drive as if it were a single unit. The rear camper section of Cocoon Camper overlaps the frontal vehicle on top with a section that locks in place and connects directly to the top of the frontal vehicle unit with supports. The rear camper also locks in place from the back of the frontal vehicle unit to fully connect and stabilize the vehicle. Cocoon Camper works by connecting the drive shaft from the frontal vehicle to the camper in order to drive the wheels of the camper section from the rear. Cocoon Camper makes this possible by allowing the rear wheels of the frontal vehicle unit to retract to provide the proper clearance. The frontal vehicle has a unique modified differential that includes a selector to activate the wheels on the frontal vehicle or the wheels on the camper unit.
