Has anyone seen an aftermarket rail system to convert your TH rear door into a patio?

I've been doing a lot of searching but not finding any products.
New or used.

Trying the above for me was always the Goldilocks experience - It was either too high or too low.

If you can drag the standred pinic table bench that are at most campgrounds and use a 5 ft" 4X4 you can lower your ramp onto the seating area on the beach and wamo you have your patio deck.

These ramps are a huge lever and put crazy stress on the supports.


My cables are factory.

But the toddler fence or xpens sounds like a temp fix until I find a good deal on rails.

My toy hauler did not have the anchors to secure the ramp door. Rather than drill the trailer, I used tall jack stands with rubber bumpers to hold the ramp level. The comment about additional steel plates being required may be for those cable anchors I lacked.

I've always worked to be out of the TT as that is why we RV. If I wanted to be couped up I would've stayed home!

Amazingly enough, not everyone does things, and enjoys things, exactly the same way you do. It's called diversity. And if you got a trailer, you're RV'ing. Want to camp? Get a tent.

On the west coast we have some campgrounds where the rear of the trailer hangs over the beach. Beach front property!

Watching the sunsets are aweesome.


So much for the sand between your toes eh?


Most of the beach campsites don't actually open up to the beach. Our beach camps are always up on a bluff overlooking the beaches. The party patio is a great way to open up the garage and fill the room with sea air and watch the sun set. I've set up my laptop out there and put in plenty of uninterrupted billable hours on the veranda. It sure beats an office.


I had my TH at Emma Wood once, back deck out over the rocks at the water's edge. High tide might have got wet!

I saw someone using toddler "fencing" around theres this weekend, plastic panels that dovetail together for making play areas for toddlers, size seemed to fit very well. Couple of bungies and it was pretty secure.


I would just tie a pork chop around the kids neck so the dog would play with him before I would drop that kind of coin.
