Abstract Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to caravans or mobile homes with expandable chamber systems, such as expandable chamber systems for sleeping. Some embodiments relate to a caravan comprising: a body; a wall defining an opening; an expandable chamber system associated with the opening and adjustable between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration. The expandable chamber system comprises: a chamber floor pivotally connected to the body at or near an edge of the opening; a flexible canopy connected to the chamber floor at or near one or more edges of the chamber floor and to the body at or near one or more edges of the opening; and a canopy support element pivotally connected to the body or the chamber floor. In the deployed configuration, the chamber floor extends away from the body and the canopy support element extends away from the chamber floor to support the canopy in an expanded configuration forming the chamber. The chamber floor is configured to be movable from the deployed configuration to collapse the canopy and chamber into the stowed configuration in which the chamber floor is substantially parallel to the wall or is accommodated within the body, and the canopy support element and collapsed canopy are accommodated within the body alongside the chamber floor. mm ------------ -------- --- ~~tx rY-I j rC 00U qt I-
