Trailer hitch mechanism mounted within the trunk area of a passenger type motor vehicle and connected directly to the chassis frame members of the vehicle to support and provide means to connect a large capacity fifth-wheel type trailer to the hitch mechanism and provide mobile living quarters for a greater number of people than can be accommodated in the cab of a pick-up truck. Auxiliary supporting wheel means of a variety of types and embodiments are connectable directly to the chassis frame members of a passenger vehicle to augment the supporting capacity of the conventional rear wheels of the vehicle and thereby enable such vehicle, as distinguished from a pick-up truck, to support the relatively heavy weight of the forward end of said fifth-wheel type trailer without undue strain on the passenger vehicle, and thus provide the more comodious travel facilities of such passenger vehicle to accommodate a full contingent of occupants for which the vehicle normally is designed. Quick detachment of the trailer and auxiliary supporting wheel means from the vehicle readily restores the vehicle to the normal appearance of the vehicle with a minimum of effort.
