Abstract: A camper attachment comprising a top and a shell. The shell can function as a traditional camper by itself. With the top rotated open, a sleeping area between the top and the shell can be created by rotating the top upward along a common axis with the shell. Folding sections allow the sleeping area to be expanded to accommodate adults, even on short wheelbase vehicles.

Abstract: A rack apparatus for improving the cargo carrying capacity of a pickup truck. The truck has a cab portion, a bed portion defined by a bed surface and a pair of side walls and a forward wall adjacent the cab The rack apparatus comprises a side rail arranged on each of the side walls of the bed portion and each of the side rails has a proximal end which is pivotally attached to the side wall at a mid-portion thereof. A crossbar is arranged between the side rails adjacent a distal end thereof. The side rails and the crossbar are pivotable from a stowed out of the way orientation at a forward end of the bed portion to an upright orientation at a rearward end of the bed portion. A stationary rack is arranged at a forward end of the bed portion of the truck to provide a cargo carrying capacity between the stationary rack and the crossbar of the pivotable side rails.

Abstract: The invention relates to an expandable mobile accommodation structure comprising a central structure provided with floor (3), roof (2), and end walls (1) and two longitudinal side walls (7), at least one of which is movable outwards together with outwardly pivotal floor and roof sections (4 and 9, resp.). The roof and floor sections comprise a rigid panel, and are pivoted to the side wall (7) and the floor and roof edges of the central structure such that in a non-expanded state the roof panel (9) and the side wall (7) are permitted to hang down double-folded outside the folded up floor panel (4). The invention is characterized in that an actuating means (14, 14′) is arranged to act between the central structure and the roof panel (9) for swinging the roof panel up and down supported by a draw rope (15) is acting between the upper part of the central structure and the outermost part of the floor panel (4).

Abstract: A motor vehicle, particularly a pickup truck type vehicle, having a rear-side cargo area which is provided with a separate cargo space module displaceably supported on the vehicle body such that it can be moved between a rear position which adjoins the rear of the cargo area and a forward position near the motor vehicle cab. The cargo space module can be supported to swing by means of a lever arrangement attached to the motor vehicle body. Preferably, the cargo space module has a fixed bottom, a fixed right-side wall, and a fixed left-side wall and is further provided with a front wall, a rear wall, and a cover, each of which is movable from an open to a closed position adjacent the cargo space module.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bed extender apparatus for extending and enlarging the useful carrying capacity of the bed of a pickup truck. The pickup truck has an elongated bed defined by a forward wall, a pair of sidewalls, a floor and a tailgate hingedly attached to a rearward edge of the floor. The bed extender apparatus comprises a U-shaped frame movably arranged on an upper edge of the sidewalls, the U-shaped frame including a transverse wall and a pair of parallel arms. The transverse wall is storably disposed adjacent the forward wall of the bed when the bed extender apparatus is in a non-bed extended configuration. The transverse wall is displaceable onto the tailgate when the bed extender is in a bed extended configuration.

Abstract: An auxiliary load supporting apparatus for a vehicle having a front and a rear and a left and right sidewall, comprising: a first base mounted to said left sidewall and extending upward therefrom to a desired height, between six inches and 50 inches above said left sidewall; a second base mounted to said right sidewall and extending upward therefrom to a desired height, between six inches and 50 inches above said right sidewall; a first framework mounted to said first base and extending rearward therefrom away from the left sidewall; a second framework mounted to said second base and extending rearward therefrom away from the right sidewall; a transom extending from the first framework to the second framework rearward from the rear. A third support point is defined by the angle between the transom and the truck bed by the tailgate of the truck so that the transom does not need to take all of the support of the load.
