Abstract

A camper for a vehicle includes a first cabin portion and a second cabin portion adapted to telescopically extend and retract relative to the first cabin portion in a horizontal direction. Further, each of the first cabin portion and the second cabin portion includes a base portion, and an extension portion. The extension portion is adapted to telescopically extend and retract relative to the base portion in a vertical direction. Moreover, the extension portions are configured to be extended or retracted together.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A camper for a vehicle, comprising:
a first cabin portion; and
a second cabin portion adapted to telescopically extend and retract relative to the first cabin portion in a horizontal direction, each of the first cabin portion and the second cabin portion includes
a base portion, and
an extension portion adapted to telescopically extend and retract relative to the base portion in a vertical direction, and
wherein the extension portions are configured to be extended or retracted together, wherein the extension portions are extended upon extension of the second cabin portion relative to the first cabin portion to an extended position, and the second cabin portion is arranged to be retracted upon retraction of the extension portions to associated downward positions.

2. The camper of claim 1 , wherein the second cabin portion defines a rear access opening of the camper and the camper further including a rear gate adapted to cover the rear access opening of the camper.

3. The camper of claim 2 , wherein the rear gate is adapted to move between an open position and a close position, wherein
in the close position, the rear gate is arranged covering the rear access opening, and
in the open position, the rear gate is arranged substantially parallel to a roof of the camper.

4. The camper of claim 3 further including a curtain engaged to the rear gate and adapted to extend vertically downwardly from the rear gate when arranged in the open position defining a shower enclosure.

5. The camper of claim 1 further including a pair of legs movably engaged with the second cabin portion and adapted to extend vertically downwardly from the second cabin portion to support the second cabin portion in the extended position.

6. The camper of claim 1 , wherein second cabin portion includes a rear hatch structure and a flexible structure connected to the rear hatch structure and the first cabin portion, wherein the flexible structure is adapted to telescopically extend or retract relative to the first cabin portion.

7. The camper of claim 1 , wherein the rear hatch structure is arranged outwardly of the first cabin portion and contacting the first cabin portion when the second cabin portion is arranged in a retracted position.

8. A vehicle, comprising:
a first cabin portion; and
a second cabin portion adapted to telescopically extend and retract relative to the first cabin portion in a horizontal direction, each of the first cabin portion and the second cabin portion includes
a base portion, and
an extension portion adapted to telescopically extend and retract relative to the base portion in a vertical direction, and
wherein the extension portions are configured to be extended or retracted together when the second cabin portion is arranged in an extended position relative to the first cabin portion, and the second cabin portion is moved to a retracted position when the extension portions are arranged at associated downward positions.

9. The vehicle of claim 8 , wherein the second cabin portion defines a rear access opening of the vehicle and the vehicle further including a rear gate adapted to cover the rear access opening of the camper.

10. The vehicle of claim 9 , wherein the rear gate is adapted to move between an open position and a close position, wherein
in the close position, the rear gate is arranged covering the rear access opening, and
in the open position, the rear gate is arranged substantially parallel to a roof of the vehicle.

11. The vehicle of claim 10 further including a curtain engaged to the rear gate and adapted to extend vertically downwardly from the rear gate when arranged in the open position defining a shower enclosure.

12. The vehicle of claim 8 further including a pair of legs movably engaged with the second cabin portion and adapted to extend vertically downwardly from the second cabin portion to support the second cabin portion in the extended position.

13. The vehicle of claim 8 , wherein second cabin portion includes a rear hatch structure and a flexible structure connected to the rear hatch structure and the first cabin portion, wherein the flexible structure is adapted to telescopically extend or retract relative to the first cabin portion.

14. The vehicle of claim 8 , wherein the rear hatch structure is arranged outwardly of the first cabin portion and contacting the first cabin portion when the second cabin portion is arranged in a retracted position.

15. A camper for a vehicle, comprising:
a first cabin portion; and
a second cabin portion adapted to telescopically extend and retract relative to the first cabin portion in a horizontal direction, each of the first cabin portion and the second cabin portion includes
a base portion, and
an extension portion adapted to telescopically extend and retract relative to the base portion in a vertical direction, and
wherein the extension portions are configured to be extended or retracted together when the second cabin portion is arranged in an extended position relative to the first cabin portion, and the second cabin portion is moved to a retracted position from the extended position when the extension portions are arranged at associated downward positions.

16. The camper of claim 15 , wherein the second cabin portion defines a rear access opening of the camper and the camper further including a rear gate adapted to move between an open position and a close position, wherein
in the close position, the rear gate is arranged covering the rear access opening, and
in the open position, the rear gate is arranged substantially parallel to a roof of the camper.

17. The camper of claim 16 further including a curtain engaged to the rear gate and adapted to extend vertically downwardly from the rear gate when arranged in the open position defining a shower enclosure.

18. The camper of claim 15 further including a pair of legs movably engaged with the second cabin portion and adapted to extend vertically downwardly from the second cabin portion to support the second cabin portion in the extended position.

19. The camper of claim 15 , wherein second cabin portion includes a rear hatch structure and a flexible structure connected to the rear hatch structure and the first cabin portion, wherein the flexible structure is adapted to telescopically extend or retract relative to the first cabin portion.
