Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model generally relates to camping trailers or caravans, and more particularly to a towable living cabin. Background Technology

[0002] Any reference to prior art in this specification is not, and should not be construed as, an admission or implication in any form that such prior art constitutes part of common general knowledge.

[0003] Both camping trailers and caravans are towable living cabins that can be hooked onto a car and towed to a campsite. The car is the prime mover, while the caravan and camping trailer are non-motorized and passively pulled behind the car.

[0004] Camping trailers are smaller than caravans and typically house a tent that folds out of the trailer, with other living gear crammed inside. Their appeal lies in their lightweight and compact design.

[0005] Camping trailers typically do not offer amenities such as showers and toilets, forcing users to shower and relieve themselves in the jungle. A preferred embodiment provides an improved camping trailer. Utility Model Content

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a towable living cabin is provided, which is towed by a vehicle and comprises: Shower; Toilet; and A toilet cover, used to cover the toilet when using a shower.

[0007] Advantageously, the shower and toilet can be positioned adjacent to each other, and the cover can be used to keep the toilet dry by protecting it from water from the shower. When using the toilet, the cover can also cover the shower floor to keep the user's feet dry.

[0008] The cover can cover the shower drain pipe in the floor. The cover can be hinged or pivotable. The cover can be bent. The cover can be rigid. The cover can be molded. The cover can be made of sheet metal or polymer material.

[0009] The cover can be adapted to complement the shower floor and walls.

[0010] The cover may include a top panel and a front wall panel for a toilet container. The toilet container may include a body defining a lip. The toilet container may include a seal mounted to the lip. In one embodiment, the cover may also include an interconnecting panel for interconnecting the top panel and the front wall panel. The top wall panel and the front wall panel may be vertical. The interconnecting panel may extend obliquely to the top wall panel and the front wall panel. The interconnecting panel may extend parallel to an angled fender section of the living compartment. The cover may include a handle.

[0011] A towable living cabin may include an outer shell for enclosing a toilet. The shell may contain water from the shower. The shell may include a wall that extends only partially to the ceiling. The shower head may be attached to the ceiling. The shell may include a door. The door may be a sliding door or a hinged door. The shell may be fitted with a (mixer) faucet for controlling the shower.

[0012] Within the scope of this invention, any feature described herein can be arbitrarily combined with any one or more other features described herein. Attached Figure Description

[0014] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method is provided. Figure 1The hybrid camping trailer 100 (i.e., a towable living cabin) is shown. The camping trailer 100 will be towed by a vehicle such as a four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicle. The hybrid camping trailer 100 has four hard sides 102 extending upwards from a frame chassis 104, and a pop-out top 106 extending upwards from the sides 102. The chassis 104 terminates at a tongue-shaped coupler 108 for coupling to a 4WD tow ball. The camping trailer 100 also includes an undercover sanitary module 110, which will be described in detail below.

[0015] Turning to Figure 2, the sanitary module 110 includes a shower 200 and a toilet 202. The sanitary module 110 also includes a movable cover 204 for use in shower mode (…). Figure 2A When using the shower 200, the toilet 202 is covered to provide a larger effective shower area. The shower 200 and the toilet 202 are positioned very close together, and the bent cover 204 can be used to keep the covered toilet 202 dry from water from the shower 200.

[0016] In toilet mode ( Figure 2B When the toilet 202 is in use, the cover 204 can be moved to alternatively cover the floor 206 of the shower 200. In this way, the cover 204 provides a walkway that keeps the user's feet dry, away from any water on the shower floor 206. The cover 204 also covers the drain pipe 208 of the shower 200 in the floor 206.

[0017] Cover 204 is hinged relative to floor 206 and is pivotable when moved using handle 210. Cover 204 is rigid and made of sheet metal. Cover 204 may alternatively be molded and integrally formed from a rigid polymer material.

[0018] Furthermore, the cover 204 includes a top panel 212 and a vertical front wall panel 214 for receiving a toilet container 216 of the toilet 202. The cover 204 also includes an inclined interconnecting panel 218 for interconnecting the top panel 212 and the front wall panel 214. The interconnecting panel 218 extends parallel to and is embedded in an angled mudguard section of the camping trailer 100. Therefore, the cover 204 forms a complementary fit with the floor 206, inclined walls, and vertical walls of the shower enclosure 200.

[0019] Toilet container 216 includes a body 220 defining an outer peripheral lip 222 and a cover 204 that closes the container 216. Toilet container 216 may also include a rubber seal 224 mounted to the lip 222, with the cover 204 abutting against the rubber seal 224 to prevent shower water ingress. Shower 200 also includes a mixer tap 226 for controlling shower water and the mixer tap 226 is adapted to the shower housing.

[0020] Turning to Figure 3, the camping trailer 100 includes an outer shower enclosure 300 for containing shower water and also encloses a toilet 202. The enclosure 300 includes a vertical wall 302 that extends only partially to the ceiling defined by an extended pop-up top 106. The head 304 of the shower 200 can be attached to the ceiling. The fabric material extending above the wall 302 and the pop-up top 106 can accommodate any upward jets from the shower 200.

[0021] The housing 300 also includes a sliding door 306, which can be received within a cavity of the housing 300. Alternatively, the door 306 may be hinged.

[0022] Those skilled in the art will understand that many embodiments and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of this invention.

[0023] For example, in one embodiment, the cover may be L-shaped and has no interconnect panel 218.

[0024] In accordance with regulations, this utility model has been described in language that is more or less specific to structural or methodological features. It should be understood that, since the means described herein include preferred forms for implementing this utility model, this utility model is not limited to the specific features shown or described.

[0025] Throughout this specification, the reference to "an embodiment" or "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, the phrases "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" appearing throughout this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.
