Toy hauler modifications. You can do just about anything you can think of to a home on wheels or RV. This one got a patio put in.
These are called “toy hauler patio kits.” Because they usually get installed in so-called “toy haulers” — RV trailers used to tow around boats, quads, bikes, snowmobiles, what have you, from home to some outdoor recreation location. It’s more common to see the patios on the back of the RV unit — a common configuration is for the back wall square to fold down (attached still by guy cords or metal wire ropes– and a roof to be pulled straight out of the roof of the RV (in other words, its stored flat just under the roof of the RV, and gets pulled out sort of like a garage door.
The patios sometimes have fences around them as well, but not always, sometimes it’s just a flat floor that sticks out from the RV with some guywires. Not even fences around on some of them, just a nice spot to put some chairs or if you’re feeling luxurious, why not get something like an alexander rose range of garden furniture to put on the patio. They increase space, for one thing, anyway. There are lots of different items that you can purchase to decorate and enhance your patio, a High-quality Cantilever Umbrella will look amazing on your patio, offering you comfort and shade when the sun is blasting. Protecting your skin – how efficient!
Toy haulers are a lot like fifth wheels. And you can find them at around the same prices. Maybe 4-6 thousand for an ok one. Down to a couple thousand for a cheaper one. No limit of course to the top end.
And some of these toy haulers come with patio fold outs, or toy hauler patio kits (if they did the patio after buying).
Actually, there is some strong arguments on the side of buying one made with a patio. Mainly, its in the warranty. If you do your own patio, whether you do it yourself or have it done at a shop, its often not covered by your warranty (or voids part of the warranty).
However, on the other side, there is price. To buy one of these, it’s been reported it would cost around $2,300.
What some people do is just take their ramp and attach cables to it in the corners, so they drop the ramp, but its attached to cables to keep it from touching the ground. However, that’s a basic way. Something like this picture requires quite a bit of professional-level work. One company that does a great job of this all is Highland Ridge (pictured).
