ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a tent-like foldable room-forming extension for rear-opening van-type vehicles characterized by hanger brackets mountable on the upper rear outside corners of the van; a foldable subframe having its adjacent front corners fitted with eyelets detachably connctable to the hanger brackets to define a roof-supporting structure, foldable subframes depending from the side margins of the roof-supporting subframe and cooperating therewith to define an arch, a foldable fabric skin covering, the top and sides of said frame as well as the opening at the rear with an openable curtain wall, a forwardly-extending sealable cuff at the front end adapted to be drawn snug against the rear end of the van, and an expandable panel stretched between the sidewalls along the underside of the van cooperating therewith to enclose the front. This cuff allows the tent to be connected to vans having rear ends of different heights, widths and configurations. The sideframe members of the tent rest upon the ground when the tent is used on panel vans and cooperate therewith to produce a free-standing assembly. With step-in vans, on the other hand, the sidewalls hang free from the roof and channel brackets are used on the van body near the bottom to maintain a fixed spacing therebetween.
