In an embodiment, a collapsible shelter system is provided that includes a base defining a front edge and a back edge and a roof defining a front edge and a back edge. A front height is defined by the distance between the front edge of the base and the front edge of the roof, and a back height is defined by the distance between the back edge of the base and the back edge of the roof. The system further includes a first side wall and a second wall, each including a lower portion hingedly attached to the base and an upper portion hingedly attached to the roof, and the lower portion hingedly attached to the upper portion along a middle-hinge axis. The collapsible shelter system is configurable between a closed position and an open position. In the open position, the back height is greater than the front height.

The present embodiments are directed to an awning assembly for a recreational vehicle comprising a main body, a flexible awning material, a roller tube, a lead rail, at least one support leg hinged to the lead rail, and at least one tension rafter being mountable between the main body and the lead rail. The at least one support leg is hinged to the lead rail so that the support leg can be hinged into a first storage section of the lead rail frame. The lead rail frame comprises a second storage section for receiving the tension rafter therein, wherein the second storage section comprises an opening, wherein either holder is disposed within the opening, or the tension rafter is self-clamping into the second storage section.

Control methods and systems including a smart vehicle, a smart mobile device including a processor, a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, and machine readable instructions stored in the memory that may cause a system to perform at least the following when executed by the processor: use the smart mobile device to automatically control functionality of smart features of the smart vehicle based on an applied control logic and environmental inputs and/or use the smart mobile device to automatically control a wireless routing selection between a local area network associated with the smart vehicle and a remote wide area network based on an application tool switch logic.

A mobile child-related facility includes a compartment having one or more access means to provide admission into the compartment. The compartment includes at least one child-friendly relieving area; at least one child-friendly utility space; and at least one vending station including a product vending machine for dispensing one or more products for consumption during child-related activities. The child-friendly relieving area, the child-friendly utility space, and the vending station are independent of each other and are accessible through the one or more access means.

A roof tent closure system designed to facilitate the opening and closing of tent equipment. Both halves of the roof box—front and rear—are equipped with two profiles along the edge and perimeter: the front profile and the rear profile. The front profile is fitted with a locking groove. In turn, the rear profile is fitted with an inward-facing oblique skirt. This oblique skirt, under pressure, slots into the locking groove. A push button is located on the rear profile. Pressing the push button releases the oblique skirt from the locking groove, thereby opening the roof tent.

An awning is mounted in stake pockets of a truck bed and casts shade asymmetrically relative to its mount rearwardly toward the truck tailgate. The awning is braced by struts connecting the truck and the awning. The awning is pivoted between a stowed position overlying the truck rails to a position extending rearwardly of the truck bed.

An awning shade device with removable projector screen includes an elongated shade panel that is constructed from a breathable material having sun shading qualities. A plurality of awning attachment devices are disposed along the top end of the panel and function to hang the panel from the roller channel of an awning. A plurality of anchors are disposed along the bottom end of the panel and function to anchor the panel to the ground. A projector screen having an aspect ratio of 4:3 or 16:9, and a matte white front surface is removably secured onto the inside facing surface of the panel or the outside facing surface of the panel in a removable manner by a plurality of connectors and complementary connectors.

A tent system includes a base system, a canopy, and one or more interconnecting members. The base system includes a first base member configured to mount to a vehicle, a second base member, and a hinge pivotally attaching the first base member to the second base member. The canopy includes a flexible membrane having a membrane edge and a canopy fastener coupled to at least a portion of the membrane edge and configured to mate with an interconnecting member fastener. The one or more interconnecting members include an interconnecting member body defining a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge, an attachment member, and the interconnecting member fastener attached to the interconnecting member body along the second longitudinal edge and configured to mate with a plurality of different canopy fasteners.

Control methods and systems including a smart vehicle, a smart mobile device including a processor, a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, and machine readable instructions stored in the memory that may cause a system to perform at least the following when executed by the processor: use the smart mobile device to automatically control functionality of smart features of the smart vehicle based on an applied control logic and environmental inputs and/or use the smart mobile device to automatically control a wireless routing selection between a local area network associated with the smart vehicle and a remote wide area network based on an application tool switch logic.

The present embodiments are directed to an awning assembly 1 for a recreational vehicle comprising a main body, a flexible awning material, a roller tube, a lead rail 5, at least one support leg 6 hinged to the lead rail 5, and at least one tension rafter 7 being mountable between the main body and the lead rail 5. The at least one support leg 6 is hinged to the lead rail 5 so that the support leg 6 can be hinged into a first storage section of the lead rail frame 8. The lead rail frame 8 comprises a second storage section 10 for receiving the tension rafter 7 therein, wherein the second storage section 10 comprises an opening 11, wherein either holder 12 is disposed within the opening 11, or the tension rafter 7 is self-clamping into the second storage section 10.
