The combination of a conventional house trailer having a roof, floor and side walls defining a habitable enclosure with access thereto through a door and a collapsible porch attached to one side of said walls, said collapsible porch comprising a floor hingedly secured to said one side wall of said trailer, adjacent the lower edge thereof, a porch roof wall hingedly secured to the trailer adjacent the roof thereof, a pair of porch side walls each hingedly secured to one side wall of the trailer in direct alignment with respective opposed. pairs of marginal edges of said floor and said roof, an outer porch wall hingedly secured to one or the other of said pair of porch side walls and being of substantially the same length as the side wall to which it is attached or slightly shorter whereby such walls fold one upon the other against the side of the trailer at a position alongside the roof and floor walls, the pivot axis of said side walls being substantially vertical, means for securing said roof, porch side walls, outer wall and floor in an assembled porch open position to provide an enclosure separate and distinct from said habitable enclosure of the trailer and thereby providing an anteroom thereto, a door hingedly hung on one of said porch side walls providing entry into the porch enclosure, and means for securing said porch side walls, porch roof and porch floor in a collapsed position against said one side wall of said trailer.
