RV patio
RV patio platform ideas that stay separate from the trailer.

An RV patio is the outdoor room beside the camper. Search results mix that idea with entry decks, steps, and trailer landings. Those are a different product. PALLET-DEX is the separate, low platform.
What people mean by RV patio ideas
Camper patio ideas usually include a surface, chairs, a table, shade, a rug, and lighting. The surface can be a rug on gravel, pavers, a kit, or a freestanding platform. PALLET-DEX is one way to build that platform from plastic pallets and a 2x6 grid, after the park says the project is allowed.
Separate from the RV
Do not fasten the platform to the frame, the hitch, the stabilizers, or the door. Do not use it as the step into the trailer. If the park wants a landing, that is a different build and not this method.
