Travel trailer with extendable two level bathroom and bedroom

Abstract

A recreational travel trailer comprising a main housing which encloses a living space having multiple floor levels, and a two level extendable housing having a deployed configuration and an extended configuration. The extendable housing is movably positioned within an opening in the main housing so that a first floor of the extendable housing is positioned adjacent to a first floor of the main housing and so that a second floor of the extendable housing is positioned adjacent to a second floor of the main housing. In the deployed configuration, the extendable housing extends through the opening of the main housing so as to increase the enclosed space within the trailer. In the retracted configuration, the extendable housing is substantially positioned within the main housing so as to provide the main housing with a shape and size that is suitable for being towed on a public road. The trailer is further comprised of an actuator assembly having a linear actuator which moves the two level extendable housing.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A travel trailer comprising: 
 a chassis;    a set of rotatable wheels attached to the chassis so as to allow the trailer to travel on a roadway;    a floor disposed above the chassis, wherein the floor defines an inner living space of the trailer and wherein the floor has a first vertical level positioned at a first height above the roadway and a second vertical level positioned at a second height above the roadway;    a main housing that comprises a plurality of walls disposed above the chassis so as to enclose the inner living space of the trailer;    an extendable housing disposed adjacent a first wall of the plurality of walls of the main housing, the extendable housing including a floor having a first and second level and a plurality of walls extending from the floor so as to define a supplementary space therein, wherein the first and second level of the floor of the extendable housing are respectively positioned adjacent the first and second vertical levels of the floor of the trailer disposed above the chassis, wherein the extendable housing is movable between (a) a first position such that an outer wall of the plurality of walls of the extendable housing is disposed adjacent a plane of the first wall and (b) a second position wherein the outer wall of the extendable housing is disposed outward from the plane of the first wall; and    a movement mechanism coupled to the extendable housing, said movement mechanism moving the extendable housing between the first and second positions, wherein the movement mechanism comprises a single linear actuator.
