ABSTRACT:
A pickup truck camper shell is made of heavy-duty vinyl having fixed clear vinyl windows and zippered opening in rear. The vinyl is sewn to fit a three-piece pipe frame that slides vertically into inserts mounted to the bed of pickup truck. The shell drapes over frame and bottom of shell snaps to perimeter of pickup truck bed. The inserts are made of short pieces of pipe having a larger diameter than pipe of frame and plugged at the bottom. These inserts are mounted to L-shaped brackets that bolt to the inside sides of pickup truck bed. The inserts fasten to the brackets using steel straps. This portable shell is of foldable and knockdown construction for easy handling and storage. The portable pickup truck shell is angled in on all sides, flat on top, and is two-thirds the height of a pickup truck cab. There are two models of the portable camper shell, a roll bar and a non-roll bar model. The roll bar model has cut outs in the vinyl shell allowing the shell to mount under roll bar and the L-brackets are eliminated; the inserts are mounted directly to base of roll bar legs. Other than these differences, both versions of the portable pickup truck camper shell are identical.
