ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A camper unit for use with a dump truck includes a front portion normally resting on the floor of the dump truck with a rear portion extending down behind the tail gate area, but terminating clear of the ground. When it is desired to unload the camper, the dump truck body is elevated until the ground engaging means on the lower rear corners of the camper unit dig into the ground or frictionally engage the ground with part of the weight of the camper unit thereon. The truck is then driven slowly forwardly with the camper unit remaining stationary. Towards the front underside of the front portion of the camper unit, a hinged ground engaging support frame is mounted and when it clears the tail gate area of the truck body, it swings downwardly by gravity. The elevation of the dump truck body is adjusted as it is moved forwardly so that the support frame engages the ground thereby supporting the camper unit upon the support frame at the front and upon the rear portion of the camper at the rear. To load the camper, the dump truck body is elevated so that the floor engages un- der the front lower edge of the front portion of the camper and the truck is backed up towards the camper. This lifts the front end of the camper whereupon the dump truck body position is adjusted as the truck is backed under the camper, hinging the support frame rearwardly as it moves under the camper until the camper is fully loaded into the dump truck body. Means are provided to detachably lock the camper into the dump truck body.
