MODULAR SWINGING WALL ASSEMBLY USED TO CREATE SEPARATE SPACES IN A VEHICLE OR TRAILER
A swing wall assembly is provided. The assembly may have a fixed wall attached to a supporting surface of the space. A geared hinge connects a swing wall to the fixed wall so that the swing wall may be offset from the supporting surface by a caster distance. A caster assembly may protrude from a lower portion of the swing wall by the caster distance so as to be moveable along the supporting surface. The swing wall may be connected to a header by way of a self-aligning lock. A sliding lock may connect the swing wall and or a pod wall that can be operatively associated with the swing wall opposite the fixed wall. The pod wall allows the swing wall assembly to selectively close off different types of spaced within an enclosed space of a recreational vehicle.

Buildable seal for slide-out rooms
A buildable seal assembly (100) is used with a jacket (102) which is connected to a sidewall (14) and slide out room (12) of a conventional RV or similar mobile equipment or mobile living quarters (10). A right angled seal element (132) is coupled to the jacket (102) in a snap in configuration. The right angled seal element (132) is further coupled to a bulb (152) and a wiper component (146). The bulb (152) and wiper component (146) assist in providing a seal between the mobile living quarters (10) and the slide out room (12) when the room (12) is in a retracted, closed position or an extended, open position.

Multi-purpose telescoping trailer
A multi-purpose telescoping trailer for transporting a vehicle and providing expandable enclosed interior space is disclosed. The interior space may be expanded into the vehicle space when the vehicle is not present. The trailer includes a frame having at least two wheels, a bed for receiving and transporting a vehicle and a means for securing the trailer to a towing vehicle. The trailer also includes an inner housing and an outer housing that together form an expandable enclosed interior space. The interior space can be expanded by sliding the inner housing generally outside of the outer housing in a telescoping manner when there is no vehicle stored in the vehicle bed.

CONFIGURABLE TRAILER
A configurable trailer system which includes a chassis supported by one or more axles and any combination of an enclosed trailer, a camper, a livestock trailer, a dump bed and an open-sided trailer. The chassis includes a support surface and, at corners of the support surface, a plurality of locks. Each of the enclosed trailer, camper, livestock trailer, dump bed and open-sided trailer includes a plurality of corner castings configured to selectively and securely couple with the locks. A method for configuring the trailer system includes placing a first one of an enclosed trailer, a camper, a livestock trailer, a dump bed and an open-sided trailer on the chassis and locking to the chassis by engaging the locks with corner castings provided to corners of the first one of the enclosed trailer, camper, livestock trailer, dump bed and open-sided trailer.
