Abstract
A mobile shelter system having deployed and non-deployed configurations. The shelter system includes a towable trailer and a plurality of functional components for use in the deployed configuration. The functional components include a temperature control unit configured to output one or more of heated and cooled air, and an electric generator configured to provide power to the temperature control unit. In the non-deployed configuration, all of the functional components are positioned on the trailer and the system is configured to be towed over rugged terrain by an off-road vehicle.

A mobile shelter system having deployed and non-deployed configurations, the shelter system comprising:
- a towable trailer;
- and
- a plurality of functional components for use in the deployed configuration, comprising:
- a temperature control unit configured to output one or more of heated and cooled air;
- and
- an electric generator configured to provide power to the temperature control unit,
- wherein, in the non-deployed configuration, all of the functional components are positioned on the trailer and the system is configured to be towed over rugged terrain by an off-road vehicle.
A mobile shelter system comprising:
- an expandable shelter including at least one inflatable beam;
- and
- a multi-stage inflator configured to inflate the at least one inflatable beam, the multi-stage inflator including:
- a first stage inflator configured to discharge a first volume of a pressurized gas at a first pressure;
- and
- a second stage inflator configured to discharge a second volume of the pressurized gas at a second pressure greater than the first pressure, wherein the first volume is greater than the second volume.
A mobile shelter system having a deployed configuration and a non-deployed configuration, the shelter system comprising:
- an expandable shelter having a collapsed state and an expanded state;
- a temperature control unit configured to provide one or more of heated and cooled air to an interior of the shelter in the expanded state;
- an electric generator configured to provide power to the temperature control unit;
- and
- a fuel powered heater configured to receive fuel stored in the generator and to provide heated air to the interior of the shelter in the expanded state.
A mobile shelter system comprising:
- a towable trailer including a wheel axle assembly comprising:
- a first longitudinal axle support having a first longitudinal axis and a first hole extending transverse the first longitudinal axis;
- first and second wheels coupled to the first longitudinal axle support;
- a lateral axle support extending substantially perpendicular to and rotatably coupled to the first longitudinal axle support such that the first and second wheels move in opposite directions when the first longitudinal axle support rotates about the lateral axle support, wherein a first end of the second axle support extends through and out of the first hole;
- and
- a first bracket coupled to the second axle support at a first location on a first side of the first longitudinal axle support and at a second location on a second side of the first longitudinal axle support opposite the first side.
