Abstract
A vehicle cover apparatus includes: cover members arranged to be extended over a bed provided on a rear side of a cab and movable in a front-rear direction; and a support unit capable of supporting the respective cover members in an extended state of being arranged to be extended over the bed and in a retracted state of being retracted to a rear side of a roof of the cab. A top surface of the cover members in the retracted state is disposed at the same elevation in a vehicle height direction as a top surface of a rear-end section of the roof which is positioned on the rear roof side of the cab or is disposed lower than the top surface of the rear-end section and, along with the top surface of the roof of the cab, causes a continuous flow path of an air current to be formed.
