ABSTRACT:
A collapsible camper has a container mounted on the top of a pick-up truck cab. The container is formed from a cover having a rear, generally vertically wall and an upper, horizontal wall pivoting to a base. A front wall also pivots with respect to the base between an angled position and a vertical position. A foldable canopy is stored within the container cavity. To deploy the canopy, the cover is pivoted so that the generally vertical portion of the cover extends downward below the base, and the horizontal portion of the cover extends horizontally to act as a shelf, a U-shaped brace mounts between the canopy and the side walls of the pickup truck. A side wall of the container folds downward so that the top surface of the base is wide enough to be a sleeping surface, and its downward pivoting and the upward pivoting of the front wall are accomplished by a single linkage.
