  • Patent number: 4296960
    Abstract: This invention relates to an inflatable camper that may be used in conjunction with pickup trucks. A flat section of flexible material with magnetic strips is used to attach the camper to the bed of a pickup truck. Extending upward from the flat section of flexible material are inflatable walls that have internal shape forming walls therein to prevent overinflation of any particular portion of the inflatable walls. The internal shape forming walls allow pressurized air to flow therethrough to other sections of the inflatable walls. The inflatable walls connect to an inflatable top that likewise has internal shape forming walls located therein. Flexible transparent windows are located in portholes in the sides of the flexible walls, as well as a flexible transparent door being located in an entrance for the inflatable camper. Both the flexible transparent windows and door may be unzipped and either removed or moved to one side with screens remaining to protect against insects.
