Design aspects of two well-known products namely a pop-top caravan and a car rooftop tent are combined to significantly increase the living space of a pop-top type caravan when parked and in use. The movable pop-top roof of the caravan is lifted and the collapsible living volume above it is erected when the caravan is parked and in use, providing additional living space that is accessed from inside the caravan through a manhole in the movable pop-top roof of the caravan. The erected living volume is collapsed and the movable pop-top roof is lowered and locked into position before the caravan is towed or stored. The movable roof of the pop-top tent is sufficiently strong to support the collapsible living volume and to support any additional loads like occupants and equipment. Figure 5 Figure 6
