Abstract

The space expanding camper bed transformers and kit of the present invention are a safe and secure means to convert a short bed of a short bed pickup truck into a fully operational recreational vehicle when installed under a camper shell. The wider version of bed transformers has a bi-folding tray for supporting a mattress that is folded out of the way such that half of the sleep area is open for the installation and use of a combination toilet and shower unit at all times. The narrower, regular ned transformer apparatus is long and narrow expanding to triple the surface area and is placed over a refrigerator and stove units. The camper kit is one of each type of bed transformer combined with a bathroom, refrigerator, and stove under a camper shell with openable sides to create short bed truck recreational vehicle.

Claims (14)

1. A bed transformer apparatus for a slide out bed comprising a bed frame having a left side opposing a right side, a first collapsible extension device operationally attached to said left side, a second collapsible extension device operationally attached to said right side, a center support device comprising an extending rail having a bed support rail contained therein positioned at a midpoint between said left side and said right side, a first support rail having at least one anchor plate connectively attached wherein said first support rail is connectively attached lengthwise to said first collapsible extension device enabling extension of said bed frame, a first support frame comprising at least one vertical support member connectively attached at a right angle to at least one horizontal support member wherein said first support frame is connectively attached lengthwise to said second collapsible extension device enabling extension of said bed frame, and a widthwise bi-folding bed tray comprising a bottom tray platform and a top tray platform unfold-able to fill said bed frame.

2. The bed transformer apparatus of claim further 1 wherein said first support frame is disconnected from said second collapsible extension device and positioned to support said midpoint and said bed transformer further comprises a second support rail having at least one anchor plate connectively attached wherein said second support rail is positioned under said bed frame along said right side connectively attached to and providing support for said second collapsible extension device enabling extension of said bed frame.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a third support rail having at least one anchor plate connectively attached wherein said third support rail is positioned under said bed frame between said left side and said right side providing support for said center support device.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a second support frame comprising at least one vertical support member connectively attached at a right angle to at least one horizontal support member wherein said second support frame is connectively attached lengthwise to said center support device enabling extension of said bed frame.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said first collapsible extension device and said second collapsible extension device are both a length at least capable of a length doubling when extended.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said first collapsible extension device and said second collapsible extension device are both a length at least capable of length tripling when extended.

7. The bed transformer apparatus of claim 1 wherein said bottom tray platform further comprises a first tri-folding tray and said top tray platform further comprises a second tri-folding tray.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a mattress.

9. A bed transformer apparatus for a slide out bed comprising a bed frame having a left side opposing a right side, a first collapsible extension device operationally attached to said left side, a second collapsible extension device operationally attached to said right side, a center support device comprising an extending rail having a bed support rail contained therein positioned at a midpoint between said left side and said right side, a first support rail having at least one anchor plate connectively attached wherein said first support rail is connectively attached lengthwise to said first collapsible extension device enabling extension of said bed frame, a first support frame comprising at least one vertical support member connectively attached at a right angle to at least one horizontal support member wherein said first support frame is connectively attached lengthwise to said second collapsible extension device enabling extension of said bed frame, and a lengthwise tri-folding bed tray comprising a bottom tray platform, a middle tray platform, and a top tray platform unfold-able to fill said bed frame.

10. The bed transformer apparatus of claim further 9 wherein said first support frame is disconnected from said second collapsible extension device and positioned to support said midpoint and said bed transformer further comprises a second support rail having at least one anchor plate connectively attached wherein said second support rail is positioned under said bed frame along said right side connectively attached to and providing support for said second collapsible extension device enabling extension of said bed frame.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 further comprising a third support rail having at least one anchor plate connectively attached wherein said third support rail is positioned under said bed frame between said left side and said right side providing support for said center support device.

12. The apparatus of claim 9 further comprising a second support frame comprising at least one vertical support member connectively attached at a right angle to at least one horizontal support member wherein said second support frame is connectively attached lengthwise to said center support device enabling extension of said bed frame.

13. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein said first collapsible extension device and said second collapsible extension device are both a length at least capable of length tripling when extended.

14. The apparatus of claim 9 further comprising a mattress.
