Abstract

Sanitary area (2) for campers (1), characterized in that the sanitary area (2) contains at least one element that can be pushed out through the outer wall of the motorhome (1) from the base of the motorhome (1).

Description

The present invention relates to a novel floor plan concept for motorhomes, which allows a compact caravan area compact camper with narrow body width and compact exterior dimensions.

This object is achieved by a floor plan arrangement for campers with the features of claim 1. The inventive arrangement consists of a compact sanitary area, which does not require much more floor space than a conventional shower, although a toilet, a sink, a shower and bathroom furniture can be present.

As state of the art sanitary areas are known in motorhomes in which one can either swing the toilet away and the toilet when not in use thereby either located under the bed surface of the sleeping area or in the storage area of the garage area of the motorhome. Also, sanitary facilities are known in motorhomes in which the sink to save space either can be folded up or it can be moved laterally and is then arranged when not in use, for example, over the toilet. All these solutions have the common disadvantage that the space in which the functional elements are pivoted on the one hand must be present as a base of the motorhome and on the other hand can not be used otherwise. In addition, when tilting the toilet under the bed surface of a motorhome, the mattress must be placed according to high, which can make it difficult to enter the bed especially for older people.

As prior art wall elements which can be moved out of the sidewall of a mobile home are also known as slide-outs. Through the "slide-out" technique, for example, by extracting a side wall or parts of a side wall together with furniture in front, for example, a couch from the motorhome out the interior of the couch significantly widened. This leads to a generous sense of space and an enlargement of the interior, which is not possible without this "slide-out" technique. Particularly in the USA, slide-outs are known, especially for large motorhomes.

The disadvantage of the known "slide-out" technique is that it is technically very complicated to make entire side walls of the motor home pulled out. Therefore, this technique is used only in very heavy and even very expensive mobile homes.

The proposed sanitary area of a motorhome with "slide-out" technology only individual functional elements according to the invention eliminates all the disadvantages mentioned. This is achieved by pushing out a functional element of the sanitary room of the motorhome from the vehicle silhouette. The resulting widening of the parked motorhome, which could be perceived as a disadvantage, plays no role in practice on pitches or campsites. While driving, the sliding out functional element is retracted again and does not broaden the vehicle silhouette.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It shows:

1 the floor plan of a compact motorhome ( 1 ) with the inventive arrangement of a sanitary area ( 2 ).

1 shows a top view of a motorhome ( 1 ) with the advantageous arrangement of the sanitary area ( 2 ). In the sanitary area ( 2 ) is a shower tray ( 4 ), a sink ( 5 ), Bathroom furniture ( 3 ) and a toilet ( 6 ). 1 shows the sanitary area ( 2 ), as he during the parking of the motorhome ( 1 ) is present. Dashed lines 1 exemplary, how the toilet ( 6 ) is arranged when the Toilettenbank from the vehicle side wall ( 7 ) was driven out. In this arrangement, the complete sanitary area ( 2 ) as a shower or the sink ( 5 ) with plenty of room to move in front of it. At the same time, the toilet cassette under the toilet ( 6 ) very easy with pushed out toilet ( 6 ) are emptied. The otherwise necessary flap in the motorhome wall ( 7 ), which is usually necessary to change the toilet cassette, can be controlled by the "slide-out" technique of the entire toilet ( 6 ) accounted for.

Should the toilet ( 6 ) again, then it is again in the interior of the motorhome ( 1 ) pushed.

The execution according to 1 this is just an example. Instead of the toilet ( 6 ) or in addition to the toilet ( 6 ) also the sink ( 5 ) either alone or together with another functional element or individual furniture ( 3 ) of the sanitary room ( 2 ) be designed to be displaced outwards.

Of course, the proposed arrangement of the present invention in the different Wohnmobiltypen useful for fully integrated, semi-integrated, alcove vehicles, vans, camper vans and campers.
