  • Patent number: 5788319
    Abstract: A fold down-expandable camper shell that collapses to a very small unit for storage. The collapsed unit is only slightly larger than a standard pick-up camper shell, auto top or boat cabin, yet when open, the camper body has normal standing headroom. The unit has a push out queen size bed that is set up above the cab, leaving the living area completely open. An air mattress and bedding, that are normally carried on the bed frame can be extended and filled, ready to use. Extension bars, that are joined by cables, can extend outward on both sides of the vehicle, to create an area for bunk beds or storage shelves while cooking, etc. A soft canvas type covering is attached to the unit so that it is sealed and protected from the elements. Windows and screens can be added for viewing and for airflow as desired.
