ABSTRACT:
A folding tent assembly adapted to be mounted on a vehicle top or other suitable elevated surface. The assembly includes a pair of rigid base sections hingedly secured together and foldable to define a container in which the remainder of the tent can be stored, and unfoldable to define a planar platform a portion of which extends outwardly from the vehicle top or other elevated surface and on which a flexible cover and frame members can be supported to provide accommodations. A support member having a pair of upright legs, a plurality of cross bars and a pair of rigid extenders rotatably mounted on the upper ends of the legs is provided for bracing the outwardly extending portion of the platform. The extenders are rotatable between a folded position, in which the extenders are substantially parallel to the cross bars and in which the support member can be stored on top of the folded tent and within the confines of the separate travel cover; and a bracing position in which the extenders engage the platform. In the bracing position, the support member upholds the outwardly extending portion of the platform and serves as a ladder, providing access to the interior of the tent.
