Traveling holidays by car and caravan have been a popular activity almost from the inception of the private motor vehicle. Camper trailers have traditionally offered advantages of lower cost and weight for easier towing, but at the price of comfort.
Particularly in more recent times the increased popularity of four wheel drive vehicles and the desire to explore the less accessible parts of a country has led to the need for easily towable yet comfortable trailer-based accommodation with provisions for shower and toilet, not normally available in remote areas. The desire to be able to negotiate rough terrain has placed considerable design constraints on the camper trailer making it difficult to encompass within a small package the desirable features of maneuverability and reasonable accommodation. Frequently, such camper trailers require considerable manipulation to prepare for camping and in many cases cannot readily be used for short roadside stops.
It is an object of the present invention to address or ameliorate at least one of the above disadvantages or to offer a useful alternative.
