ABSTRACT:
A mobile home for retracted transport and expanded occupancy, such mobile home having a roof structure including two roof portions, each roof portion having an element mounted for transverse movement with respect to the body portion of the mobile home between a retracted position for transport and an extended position at which the element overhangs the body portion to form an eave beneath the roof structure. The element for transverse movement is hinged adjacent its outer end to a second element of each roof portion adjacent the lower edge of the roof structure so that the second elements may be unfolded upwardly for joining at their upper extending ends when the first elements are extended, thereby forming a raised roof configuration. Suitable expansion units are selectively mounted beneath the eaves of the expanded roof structure contiguous to the outside of the body portion for the expanded occupancy, and these expansion units may be carried within the body portion for transport while the roof portion first elements are contracted and the second elements are folded down to lie generally flat across the body portion in an overlapping relation. The second roof elements are shaped to form a truncated ridge roof structure when expanded, and a detachable elongated roof peak portion housing a solar energy collector is mounted atop the truncated structure and overlaps it suitably for weather-tightness.
