Utility vehicle
A vehicle 10, typically a truck, has a load space 34 bounded on at least two opposite sides by side walls 34, and a canopy 52 removably fitted to side walls 34 comprising a covering supported by a plurality of legs 46 extendable from a first length to at least a second length, a difference between the first and second lengths corresponding to a height difference between the side walls and a lowermost extent of the vehicle. Suitably, canopy 52 may be usable when removed from vehicle 10; alternatively, canopy 52 can be attached on one side to a side wall 36 of load space 34, and can extend away from vehicle 10 with legs 46 on the far side of canopy 52 extended to reach the ground. Attachments for guy ropes (56, Figure 2) may also be provided. The covering may be a flexible cover over a rigid framework, or may alternatively be a rigid sheet of thermoformed plastic or fibre-reinforced plastic.
