Camping enclosure

A portable enclosure comprising in combination a face panel peripherally bordered by a top panel, a bottom panel, and a pair of side panels, the combination forming a foldable, open, box-like structure;

• an automotive vehicle having a rear, a roof, a lift window gate and a drop tailgate;
• a plurality of protuberances within the interior of said vehicle to which load securing straps may be removably affixed;
• a plurality of load securing straps coupling said pair of side panels and said bottom panel to said plurality of protuberances so as to draw said side panels inwardly toward the forward interior of said vehicle and said bottom panel forwardly and upwardly against said drop tailgate;
• means for securing said top panel to said roof so as to draw said top panel forwardly and downwardly atop said lift window gate, the drawn panels of the structure cooperating to allow the high speed movement of the vehicle when the structure is coupled thereto, the drawn panels further inhibiting entry of persons into the structure;
• and
• said face panel of said box-like structure including a first entry and egress port for permitting entry to and exit from said vehicle through said port, said port further including closure means for inhibiting entry of persons and inclement weather through said port.

• and
• means for urging and maintaining said lift window gate and said drop tailgate apart to thereby apply an upward directed force to said top panel of said box-like structure and a downward directed force to said bottom panel, said opposing forces placing said side panels in tension.
