ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates, in general, to an attachment for a pop-up type camp trailer and, more particularly, to a sunroom attachment for such a trailer.
BACKGROUND ART
Camp trailers, such as of the pop-up type, have been extensively produced and used by many camping enthusiasts. Such pop-up type camp trailers typically provide sleeping quarters for the occupants thereof and, in some instances, permit the cooking of food therein. However, in most instances, such trailers are very small and confining. Because of this, the use of such camp trailers is limited to typically providing sleeping quarters and/or cooking facilities.
In view of the fact that pop-up camp trailers are very confining, it has become desirable to develop attachments thereto to increase the size thereof so that they can be used for other purposes.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention solves the problems associated with the confining nature of presently available pop-up camp type trailers and other problems by providing an A-type frame which is attached to the top surface of the trailer and a cover which is received over the A-type frame forming a tent-like structure, i.e., a sunroom, to be formed on the trailer. The side panels and the adjacent top panels of the cover are provided with a plastic window arrangement permitting light to enter the tent-like structure. The front panel of the tent-like structure is provided with flaps formed from screening material joined together by a zipper permitting individuals to enter and leave the tent-like structure and also permitting air to circulate within same while preventing insects from entering same. The tent-like structure substantially increases the living space provided by a pop-up camp trailer.
