A folding camper (10) comprises a trailer (12) mounted on wheels (14) and includes a tow bar coupling (tow hitch) (16) in order to secure the folding camper to a towing vehicle (not shown). The trailer (12) comprises a rigid box (18) with four rigid side walls (90, 91, 92, 93). The trailer (12) also comprises a rigid cover comprising a first section (22) and a second section (24.) The rigid front section (22) is pivotally connected along one edge (a front edge) to a wall of the box (18) of the trailer (12). Similarly the rigid rear section (24) is pivotally connected along one edge to a wall of the box (18) of the trailer (12). In particular, the rigid front section (22) comprises a front bed tray which is arranged to extend out from the box (18) in the assembled configuration in order to provide a solid raised sleeping area or another accommodation area. Similarly, the rigid rear section (24) comprises a rear bed tray which is arranged to extend out from the box (18) in the assembled configuration in order to provide a solid raised sleeping area or another accommodation area. The folding camper (10) is arranged to be assembled by first pivoting the front cover section (22) which pulls the canopy (30) and rotates a front frame (34). The rear cover section (24) is then pivotally opened which pulls the canopy (30) and rotates a second frame (36). Finally, the height of the first frame is increased in order to put the canopy (30) in tension and to make the canopy (30) taut. The present invention uses two permanently mounted frames (34, 36) which pivotally move into position and maintain the interior of the folding camper (10) in a sheltered state. Since at least one of the frames (34, 36) is extendable in height, this enables the final assembled height of the accommodation area to be maximised in relation to the storage length for the frames (34, 36) provided by the box (18). |
