ABSTRACT:
A camper which comprises a pair of laterally extending sections which are coupled to a roof by a plurality of strut pairs. A canvas wall is connected between the roof and the sections and includes elastic cords which are stretched when the camper is erected and which cause the canvas walls to fold inwardly when the camper is folded. The sections are provided with threaded shafts which are engaged by gear assemblies and which are driven by a motor to cause the sections to move outwardly which in turn pivots the struts to force the roof upwardly to erect the camper and which upon reversing of the motor causes the sections to move inwardly into an overlapping position which pivots the struts downwardly to draw the roof down to the folded position.
