Abstract
A fold-out camper which is mounted in the bed of a truck provides a convenient shelter.

To extend the camper, legs are extended from the lower frame to lift the upper frame and a cover which functions as the roof of the camper. Left and right side beds are rotated from their retracted position next to the wheel wells to an extended position over the wheel wells and over the sides of the truck bed. Tent walls which are stored with the left and right side beds and under the cover and are unrolled to enclose the camper.
