Spanish term or phrase: petaca
In a text from Spain for translation to British English.

Specifically referring to outside broadcast/mobile production units (trucks), being a part that extends outwards when the unit is parked to provide more area inside:

"con acceso directo desde el exterior a través de la puerta trasera situada en el lateral derecho y por la puerta disponible una vez que se despliega la petaca."

"Una vez desplegada la escalera podemos acceder a abrir la puerta principal de acceso a la sala de sonido y a la puerta de la petaca."
