Camping trailer with retractable awning

摘要

A retractable awning combined with an expandable camping trailer includes telescoping support arms and rafter arms that support a roll bar and an awning sheet secured thereto. The support arms and rafter arms automatically extend when the trailer is expanded from a collapsed position and are further extendable into a deployed use position and locked in this position by appropriately manipulating the support and rafter arms and securing them in extended positions with lock mechanisms. The support and rafter arms are conditioned for retraction by releasing the lock mechanisms and positioning the awning adjacent to the side of the trailer such that when the trailer is collapsed by dropping the top of the trailer downwardly toward the bottom of the trailer, the support and rafter arms automatically collapse into nested relationships.
