Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle-mounted recreational cabin technology, specifically a folding car tent. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of my country's economic level and the rapid development of the automobile industry, driving has gradually become one of the important modes of transportation for Chinese people. Sometimes, due to the limited infrastructure of tourist destinations, people cannot find suitable hotel accommodations, so some tourists resort to camping in tents or traveling in RVs. Camping in tents is not very comfortable, and RVs are generally integrated with the vehicle body, making them expensive and unaffordable for many. Therefore, a new product, the "rooftop recreational cabin," has emerged, which involves setting up a traditional tent on the roof of an ordinary vehicle for travel and accommodation.

[0003] A search revealed a patent document with publication number CN 218912450 U, which discloses a multi-functional folding living cabin with windows on all four sides. It can be installed on the roof of a vehicle and can be folded away for storage when not in use.

[0004] While the existing technology is convenient to use, the aforementioned travel cabins can only be used for rest. They cannot assist people when they are camping outdoors in open areas, and their functions are relatively limited. Therefore, a new type of folding car tent is proposed to optimize the existing technology. Utility Model Content
