Pop-up roof for leisure vehicles, in particular motorhomes and/or camper vans and/or leisure vehicles based on high-roof station wagons, with a frame and at least one access opening which allows access through the frame. It is proposed that a bed construction is provided in that the bed structure is guided along a longitudinal direction at least indirectly on the frame, in that the bed structure is guided along the longitudinal direction beyond the frame into a cantilevered position. The bed construction and the frame are designed in such a way that in the cantilevered end position the access opening in the frame next to the bed structure is unobstructed. Furthermore, a recreational vehicle with such a pop-up roof is indicated.

A hardtop shell is provided for vehicles having a variety of vehicle body styles, including all sport utility vehicles (SUV), trucks and crossovers. The hardtop shell follows the top frame of the vehicle/OEM roll cage, allowing for much more open-air space, when removing modular portions of the hardtop. The hardtop shell follows the top frame of the vehicle. The hardtop shell also can be mainly fabricated out of metal. The hardtop shell comprises a main outer frame that mates to the body and frame of the vehicle, and may also comprise modular and removable additional components such as roof panels, a rear door and gull wings. The main frame mates to the body or frame of the vehicle with a plurality of bolts, nuts, rivnuts, gaskets, seals, compression latches and other similar hardware or methods.

Systems and methods herein are directed to an adjustable roof assembly for providing an adjustable roof of a vehicle. The roof adjustment assembly includes a base with a plurality of guide tubes extending from the base. Each of the guide tubes includes an inner rod that moves relative to an outer tube at least partially surrounding the inner rod. The base includes a foldable cover extending between a first pair of guide tubes and a panel cover extending between a second pair of guide tubes. The vehicle can include a roof coupled to the base and a guide tube synchronization system to facilitate controlling movement of each inner rod of the plurality of guide tubes such that the inner rods raise at the same rate. Movement of each inner rod of the plurality of guide tubes causes the roof to raise from a lowered position to a raised position.

The invention relates to a pop-up roof for a recreational vehicle, with a roof element which is arranged on a roof of a recreational vehicle and can be transferred from a lower driving position into a raised living/sleeping position, wherein in the raised living/sleeping position, a living/sleeping area is formed between the roof element and the roof of the recreational vehicle, which area is accessible from the interior of the recreational vehicle, wherein the living/sleeping area, in the raised living/sleeping position, has at least one sitting height (h) over at least of its area, wherein the sitting height (h) is at least 75 cm, preferably at least 80 cm, more preferably at least 85 cm. Preferably, a side wall has at least one dimensionally stable and/or thermally insulating layer.

The present disclosure provides a single-power, roof-lifting mechanism for recreational vehicles. It includes a first, second, third, and fourth swing member; a first and second connector; a first and second support member; guide members; and a driving element. The first and third swing members are fixedly connected to the first connector, while the second and fourth swing members are fixedly connected to the second connector. The upper ends of the support members are rotatably connected to the roof, their middles to the third and fourth swing members, and their lower ends to the guide members, allowing relative movement. The driving element powers the swing members simultaneously, driving the support members to lift or lower the roof. This system is powered by a single electric motor, ensuring a simplified, cost-effective, and reliable design. As a result, the disclosed mechanism offers significant market potential for recreational vehicle applications.

A liftable roof for recreational vehicles includes a lower frame stably connectable to the upper surface of the recreational vehicle, handling structure connected to the lower frame, and an upper lid operatively connected to the handling structure. The handling structure is configured for moving the lid with respect to the frame between a first lowered position and a second raised position. The upper lid includes a single panel with a first resistant upper layer and a second layer made of thermo-insulating material fixed on a lower surface of the first upper layer.

An apparatus for a pop-up roof system for a vehicle, which is especially suited for use with a camper or a trailer, and more specifically a pop-up roof system that includes a levered mid-bar that pivots to raise or lower a roof shell or canopy. The pop-up roof system operates in tandem with a parallel acting pair of pop-up assemblies mounted on the interior sidewalls of the camper that can raise and lower a canopy without undue effort and strength. The operation of the pop-up roof system is a step-wise action the pop-up assemblies to raise or lower the canopy. The canopy is able to travel up and down from a retracted position to an extended position with action of a set of arm and levers, supplemented with a pair of struts to aid manual actuation of the pop-up roof system.

A vehicle body frame includes a lower frame fixed to a floor of a vehicle to define a lower region of an internal space in the vehicle, a roof frame connected to an upper portion of the lower frame to define an upper region of the internal space, configured to slid in a vertical direction of the vehicle with respect to the lower frame, to expand the internal space upwards when the roof frame slides upwards, a lower door frame forming a lower portion of a vehicle door, and an upper door frame connected to the lower door frame to form an upper portion of the vehicle door, and configured to slid together with the roof frame to expand the vehicle door upwards when the roof frame slides upwards.
