ABSTRACT:
A caravan having a lower body portion and an upper body portion with at least one hinge connecting the lower body portion to the upper body portion at one end of the caravan. The hinges connecting the upper and lower body portions allows the upper body portion to rotate relative to the lower body portion about an axis from a first position, where the upper body portion and the lower body portion are in close abutment, to a second position, where the upper body portion and the lower body portion have been rotated a predetermined distance about the hinge, so that the upper body portion is elevated above the lower body portion and no longer in close abutment to the lower body portion. A mechanism for elevating the upper body portion relative to the lower body portion, about the hinge member is included, along with side extension members that are in a substantially horizontal orientation when the upper body portion and the lower body portion are in their first position and being in a substantially vertical orientation when the upper body portion and the lower body portion are in their second position, so that in the second position, the substantially vertical orientation of the side extension members provides headroom within a substantial interior area of the caravan. A foldable side door permits access to the interior area of the caravan.
