A rigid wall construction is provided for conventional fold-down campers wherein a camper shell is comprised of a frame having a plurality of walls of substantially equal height, at least two of which form opposing lower sidewalls. Attached to an upper edge of each lower sidewall is a hinged footwall having an upper hinged plate and a pendulate support member. The hinged upper plate of the footwall is coupled to a sidewall formed from a lightweight yet rigid material. The sidewall rotates about the hinge coupling with the footwall from a recumbent position within the closed shell to a vertical position above the footwall once extended. As the sidewall is extended, the pendulate support member moves down to engage the lower sidewall and support the raised sidewall. A camper top disposed above the camper shell supports the sidewall in the extended position.
