A recreational vehicle is provided which incorporates unique "space saver" features especially suitable for, but not limited to, a short or standard cargo van body, and which allows the user to enjoy amenities which up to now were available only in the extended body versions. These space saver amenities may include a normal width double bed and temporary shower stall which previously were only found in conversions of extended length van bodies. These space saver amenities, if used in a standard or extended length van body provide even more varied and substantial sleeping facilities, such as a king-size bed or twin beds.

The invention provides an improved system of plumbing for transportation conveyances including over-the-road, domestic vehicles, railway cars and yachts. The system includes a compact, unitary water distribution manifold for distributing water from an external supply of water. The manifold defines a system of conduits having inlets and outlets for connecting the conduits alternatively to a pressurized external water supply, or, where the external supply is not pressurized, to a pump, with a valve for draining water from the manifold and connected piping, e.g. for cold weather storage.

A telecommunication system and method for communicating communication signals between various stations over a selected carrier medium. An improved encoder and method is provided for compressing a communication signal into a selectively formatted encoded signal to facilitate its transmission over the selected carrier medium. The method is particularly useful for encoding fax and modem data signals which do not exhibit the harmonics of a voice signal. A decoder and method for reconstruction of the encoded signal are also provided.

According to the invention the suite consists of a rotating platform (1) divided into three sections, each of which accommodates a sanitary fitting, a bulkhead which is of suitable height and is divided into three panels, each of which separates one sanitary fitting from the others and may help to support some other elements necessary to the operation of the sanitary fitting and to the comfort of the user, a second platform also circular in shape but fixed and in the same plane as a first, constitutes the shower tray or the standing area according to the circumstances. The WC communicates directly with an upper tank (122) located immediately below the WC itself and connected, by means of corrugated hoses (128) or the like to a lower tank (122), which is removable and into which the contents of the upper tank are transferred once two on-off gate valves have been opened.

The single room interior space of a compact motorvan for most daytime living converts quickly into three private compartments by simply opening a set of dual function folding doors (movable partitions) exposing a toilet and bigger than average shower stall area (latter doubling as coat closet) and at the same time forming a central compartment, thereby automatically creating two more private compartments in front and rear. The kitchen facilities located in the central compartment, opposite from the toilet and shower/coat closet area, are used when the doors cover that area from view. This central utility compartment is always available for active use and never occupied by seats, table or beds. The four seats in the instantly creatable front compartment rapidly convert to two, wide single beds, with ample space between them for quick exit or access to the central privacy compartment. There is also an easily and quickly stowable overhead double adult size bed in this front compartment. The mattress base is suspended in mid air, supported by flanges on horizontal members when in the downwardly pivoted position, which are hinged on shelves located above window line. When not in use, base is stored above driving compartment, away from the adult height standing area. The instantly available rear compartment may feature a dinette or a chesterfield. Both convert to a regular adult size double bed.
