ABSTRACT A vehicle used for camping or the like includes a roof structure having an opening upon which is mounted a seperable cover panel. The cover panel can be moved from a closed position covering the opening to an open position in which it is suspended in cantilever arrangement outwardly from one side of the opening with a tent enclosure between the opening and the underside of the panel to cover an access area therebetween. A lever arrangement includes first and second levers which are connected for pivotal movement respectively at the side edge of the opening and the adjacent side edge of the panel. Third and fourth levers are connected each coupled to one of the first and second levers for pivotal movement with the third and fourth levers connected together between the first and second levers and extending outwardly therefrom to engage a cable. The cable leads from the outer edge of the roof opening to the outer edge of the cover panel so that the cable supports the cover panel in cantilever arrangement and holds the third and fourth levers in a direction to force apart the first and second levers so that the first and second levers pivotally couple the panel on the roof without the necessity for a direct hinge coupling.
