The rooftop habitat includes a tent portion as well as a rooftop mounted platform portion. The rooftop mounted platform portion may be a foldable platform semi-permanently or temporarily attached to the roof of the vehicle and may extend at least partially out from the roof of the vehicle. The tent portion is separate from the platform and may be assembled and used on the ground in the manner of a traditional tent or assembled and raised to the platform located on the roof top of the vehicle. The tent is made to fit the platform but is removable from and useable without the platform. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A combination tent and raised platform, comprising: a tent platform, configured, in a deployed position, for being mounted to a vehicle rooftop, said tent platform sized and configured for accommodating a tent mounted to said tent platform, wherein said tent platform is foldable from said deployed position mounted to said vehicle to said vehicle rooftop and having a stored width, said stored width approximately one-fourth of said deployed width, said stored width configured for allowing the placement of objects adjacent said tent platform when in said stored position mounted to said vehicle rooftop; and a tent, separate and apart from said tent platform, and configured, in a first configuration, for being used at ground level separate from said tent platform and configured, in a second configuration, for also being temporarily and releasably secured to said tent platform when said tent platform is in said deployed position mounted to said vehicle rooftop, for use as a raised tent. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The combination tent and raised platform of claim 1, wherein said tent platform is foldable to said stored width along three fold lines into said one-fourth of said deployed width. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The combination tent and raised platform of claim 1, wherein said tent is configured for being assembled at ground level and raised to and releasably secured with said tent platform mounted to said vehicle rooftop. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The combination tent and raised platform of claim 3, wherein said tent is a freestanding tent. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The combination tent and raised platform of claim 1, wherein said tent platform is configured for being mounted on a vehicle selected from the group of vehicles consisting of an automobile, a truck, a camper, a Recreational Vehicle (RV), an all-terrain vehicle and a boat. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The combination tent and raised platform of claim 5, wherein said tent platform is mounted to a vehicle rooftop rack previously mounted to said vehicle rooftop. ### Claim 7 A combination tent and raised platform, comprising: a tent platform, configured, in a deployed position, for being mounted to a vehicle rooftop rack previously mounted to a vehicle rooftop, said tent platform sized and configured for accommodating a tent mounted to said tent platform, wherein said tent platform is foldable long three fold lines from said deployed position mounted to said vehicle rooftop and having a deployed width into a stored position mounted to said vehicle rooftop and having a stored width, said stored width approximately one-fourth of said deployed width, said stored width configured for allowing the placement of objects adjacent said tent platform when in said stored position mounted to said vehicle rooftop; and a tent, separate and apart from said tent platform, wherein said tent is a free standing tent configured for being assembled at ground level and configured, in a first configuration, for being used at ground level separate from said tent platform and configured, and in a second configuration, for being raised to and temporarily and releasably secured to said tent platform when said tent platform is in said deployed position mounted to said vehicle rooftop, for use as a raised tent. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The combination tent and raised platform of claim 7, wherein said tent platform is configured for being mounted on a vehicle selected from the group of vehicles consisting of an automobile, a truck, a camper, a Recreational Vehicle (RV), an all-terrain vehicle and a boat. ### Claim 9 A combination tent and raised platform, comprising: a tent platform, configured, in a deployed position, for being mounted to a vehicle raised from ground level, said tent platform sized and configured for accommodating a tent mounted to said tent platform, wherein said tent platform is foldable long three fold lines from said deployed position mounted to said vehicle and having a deployed width into a stored position mounted to said vehicle and having a stored width, said stored width approximately one-fourth of said deployed width, said stored width configured for allowing the placement of objects adjacent said tent platform when in said stored position mounted to said vehicle, wherein said tent platform is configured for being mounted on a vehicle selected from the group of vehicles consisting of an automobile, a truck, a camper, a Recreational Vehicle (RV), an all-terrain vehicle and a boat; and a tent, separate and apart from said tent platform, wherein said tent is a free standing tent configured for being assembled at ground level and configured, in a first configuration, for being used at ground level separate from said tent platform and configured, in a second configuration, for being raised to and temporarily and releasably secured to said tent platform when said tent platform is in said deployed position mounted to said vehicle, for use as a raised tent.
