Abstract
The apparatus includes a collapsible frame assembly having a collapsible main frame assembly and leg mechanism for supporting a portion of the main frame assembly at a desired elevation above the ground. At least one clamp assembly securely attaches the main frame assembly to at least a portion of a motor vehicle. A main cover is supported by the main frame assembly. The cover provides shelter adjacent to the motor vehicle. The use of the collapsible frame assembly which attaches via the clamp assembly to the motor vehicle provides utilization of the motor vehicle's mass and stability to provide structural integrity to the apparatus.
