Title: Combination recreational vehicle attachment

Abstract: A recreational vehicle body attachment to form a combination roof-top and detachable boat particularly adapted to van-type vehicles but also adaptable to pick-up truck vehicles, with or without camper caps, station wagons and pull type trailers, all of said vehicles and trailers having their original roof-tops removed. The detachable boat-roof structure, dimensioned to cover the vehicle roof area, rests upon a wedging supporting lip which continuously extends about and rests upon a remaining perimeter strip of the original roof, is secured by a latch and is removable by rearwardly positioned rollers, the latches and rollers being secured to the inner surface of said support lip. The roof-tops and body further have provisions for the erection of a tent structure to provide an enclosure for the vehicle when the boat-roof structure is removed.
