  • Publication number: 20100230999
    Abstract: The present invention is an ultra-light, aerodynamic, and towable recreational vehicle with integral self-inflating tent and accessory storage compartments. With motorcycles or a lightweight car as the intended towing vehicle, the ultra-light tent trailer includes a lightweight welded tubular steel frame, independent adjustable suspension, and composite aerodynamic body components to support the mechanicals of the tent trailer. A swingarm and crossbar assembly may support the floor of the tent component and may be controlled by a motor system. The motors may be remotely activated to open the tent trailer from a stowed configuration to an open configuration, and an inflation unit may also be remotely activated to inflate an inflatable tent. Thus, the push-button convenience makes this an incomparably quick and easy method of establishing a camp shelter. The aerodynamic features combined with the lightweight assembly reduce fuel consumption and present an efficient and stylish alternative over the prior art.
