Recreational vehicle foldable deck

摘要

The deck system includes a generally rectangular platform hingedly securable along an edge to a bottom edge of a recreational vehicle for pivotal movement between an extended position in which it lies substantially horizontally along a side of the recreational vehicle and a retracted position in which it lies in a substantially vertical position adjacent the side of the recreational vehicle; a plurality of platform support members pivotally attached to a bottom of the platform adjacent an edge remote from the platform edge hingedly securable to the recreational vehicle and engageable with the ground to support the platform in its extended position; a pair of lifting motors pivotally connected to opposite side edges of the platform and pivotally connectable to the recreational vehicle for moving the platform between its retracted and extended positions; and a remote control device for remotely controlling the lifting motors. The deck also preferably includes a door hingedly mounted in the platform for alignment with a door in the recreational vehicle to which it is attached so as to permit access into the interior of the vehicle when the platform is in its retracted or raised position. The deck system also further includes the underside of the platform being textured and decorated to match the texture and decoration on the side of recreational vehicle to which it is attached. An air deflector is also preferably included on the forward edge of the side of the vehicle to which the platform is attached so as to prevent direct impingement of air on the end portion of the platform adjacent thereto as the vehicle is moving.
