ABSTRACT:
A van-tent camping system, designed to enlarge sleeping and storage arrangements, is adapted for use with and to provide a tent-like covered extension to the rear of van-type vehicles and sport utility vehicles with upward opening rear doors. When the present invention is combined with a vehicle, it forms a single dwelling structure that provides capabilities for camping, storage, picnics and other recreational activities. The invention includes a sectional platform with a retractable and extendable frame and a tent-like cover that attaches around the extended frame. The tent-like cover is held up by the vehicle and the upward opening rear door of the vehicle. The tent-like structure uses no stakes or poles. A sectional platform is provided inside the vehicle and is a base for a bed. Underneath the platform is provided storage space. The rear most section of the platform is designed to stay in the vehicle to be used for storage shelving. The tent-like cover fits the contours of the vehicle and attaches to the frame, in its extended position, to create an enclosed extension for additional above ground sleeping arrangements. The invention is attached to the vehicle without making any permanent modifications to the vehicle.
