[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the rubber plug 303 is fixedly connected to the camping compartment 2, and the lower end face of the rubber plug 303 is in contact with the upper surface of the extended compartment 204. A pair of rubber plates 302 are fixed to the lower end face of the rainproof outer shell 3. The lower ends of the rubber plates 302 are in contact with the upper surface of the extended compartment 204 and are slidably connected. During the outward sliding of the extended compartment 204, the rubber plug 303 at the contact end with the camping compartment 2 remains in contact with the upper surface of the extended compartment 204, thus providing a sealing function and preventing rain from entering. The rubber plate 302 at the lower end of the shell 3 slides against the upper surface of the extended compartment 204. At the same time, the drainage channel 301 on the upper surface of the rainproof shell 3 can guide rainwater to both sides to prevent rainwater from seeping into the extended space. The rainproof component composed of the rubber plug 303, the rubber plate 302 and the drainage channel 301 can effectively block rainwater from seeping in during and after the extension of the extended compartment 204, and prevent rainwater from entering through the sliding gap between the extended compartment 204 and the camping compartment 2, thereby improving the dryness and comfort of the interior.

The lifting assembly includes a second hydraulic rod 404 fixed inside the support frame 403. A support block 405 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the second hydraulic rod 404. After the space is extended to the correct position, the drive motor 402 of the drive assembly is activated. The drive motor 402 drives the support shaft 401 to rotate, thereby unfolding the support frame 403 fixed to the outer wall of the support shaft 401. Then, the second hydraulic rod 404 in the lifting assembly is activated. The second hydraulic rod 404 extends and pushes the support block 405 down until the support block 405 contacts the ground, providing support for the extended compartment 204 and ensuring stability.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, a positioning block 5 is fixed to the lower end of the expandable compartment 204. The positioning block 5 has a positioning groove 501 inside for engaging the support frame 403. An mounting plate 6 is fixed to the edge of the side wall of the expandable compartment 204. An electric push rod 601 is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting plate 6. An L-shaped locking bracket 602 is fixed to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 601. The expanded support frame 403 is engaged in the positioning groove 501 inside the positioning block 5 fixed to the lower end of the expandable compartment 204, thereby positioning the support frame 403. When the support frame 403 is stored, the support frame 403 is rotated to the side wall of the expandable compartment 204 by the drive motor 402. Then, the L-shaped locking bracket 602 is telescopically extended by the electric push rod 601 to engage the locking bracket 602 with the outer side of the support frame 403, ensuring the stability of the support frame 403 after storage.

[0029] The support assembly is driven by the drive motor 402 to unfold the support frame 403, and then the second hydraulic rod 404 is used to drive the support block 405 to descend and contact the ground, providing stable support for the extended compartment 204.

[0030] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0031] When the user needs to expand the space of the camping vehicle during operation, the first hydraulic rod 203 in the telescopic assembly is activated first. It is distributed inside the first slide 201 and the second slide 202. After extension, it pushes the extended compartment 204 to slide along the slide. The camping compartment 2 also slides relative to the vehicle body 1 through the first slide 201 and the second slide 202, realizing the horizontal space expansion.

[0032] During the outward sliding of the extended compartment 204, the rubber plug 303 at the contact end with the camping compartment 2 remains in contact with its upper surface, thus providing a sealing effect. The rubber plate 302 at the lower end of the rainproof outer shell 3 also slides in contact with the upper surface of the extended compartment 204. At the same time, the drainage groove 301 on the upper surface of the rainproof outer shell 3 directs rainwater to both sides to prevent rainwater from seeping in.

[0033] After the space is expanded into place, the drive motor 402 of the drive assembly is activated, which drives the support shaft 401 to rotate, causing the support frame 403 fixed on its outer wall to unfold. Then, the second hydraulic rod 404 in the lifting assembly is activated, which extends and pushes the support block 405 down until it contacts the ground, providing support for the expanded compartment 204. The unfolded support frame 403 is then positioned in the positioning groove 501 inside the positioning block 5 at the lower end of the expanded compartment 204. When storing the support frame 403, the drive motor 402 rotates it to the side wall of the expanded compartment 204, and then the electric push rod 601 drives the L-shaped locking bracket 602 to extend and retract, so that it engages with the outside of the support frame 403, ensuring stability after storage.
