Patios are a great way to add some room to an RV, trailer, or fifth wheel. A patio doesn’t infringe on your inside living space, but it does allow you more space for eating, lounging, and other activities. A slightly elevated fifth wheel patio can also give you a better view of the scenery where you’re camping. Relaxing with a glass of wine on a fifth wheel side patio at the end of a long day is a great way to unwind!

Benefits of Having a Side Patio on Your Fifth Wheel

Fifth wheel trailers can feel cramped when you’re spending a lot of time in them! A side patio is a great way to get some extra space – you can move your dining out there and allow people working in the kitchen some more room. You can escape to the patio to read while people are watching TV inside. A patio also allows you to keep your trailer cleaner because you can set up your dining on the patio, rather than tracking dirt and dust in from a campsite picnic table. You can also use the space for exercising or yoga while taking in a beautiful view.

Best Fifth Wheel Floor Plans With a Side Patio Deck

The fifth wheels we listed above offer some great floor plans for a side patio deck. A patio deck can improve the traffic flow through your fifth wheel, and it offers people inside the trailer more room to work while at the same time offering people on the side patio deck more room to relax without being in the way. There are several fifth wheel toy haulers with side patios we listed above – the Forest River Thunderbolt and the Dutchmen Endurance are both great choices for a toy hauler with side patio.

If you enjoy the living space provided by a fifth wheel trailer, but still like spending lots of time outdoors enjoying the scenery wherever your camping adventures take you, a fifth wheel trailer with side patio may be just the solution! You can retreat inside if the weather is bad, or to cook and sleep, but still enjoy eating and relaxing outside on your own personal patio.
