Question for you if you use your ramp as patio (Party Deck) at the camp site do you find the pull thru sites work better or state your trailer is longer for the back in sites to accommodate the patio or something else?Wondering as will be first year with it and wife is really looking forward to hanging out on it. I think I will consider this more of a porch hauler than toy lol.thanks for your input.

Wife loves it - we don’t worry too much about our campsite, if we can use it great, if not is fine too. Just enjoy your not working :)

It's really best to tell them what you want and why. We typically go online, look at their site map, and then use Google Earth to look at campsites that might be suitable. While pull thrus make it more hassle free to load and off load toys, you don't typically gets much of a view worth deploying the back deck.

Thanks for the responses so I am guessing back-in would be better for a view and pull-thru for unloading and convenience, am I missing anything else? Do you add the extra 10' to your rig so you have the room to put out the patio or go just by your actual size?

We've used ours as such and never really say anything about it. We always un hitch at sites and our trailer is only 25 something feet. If you have dogs a great way to contain them is to put a simple XPen around the patio. Ours love to lay out there in the sun!

We look for campsites without trees behind it so we can lower the deck. At our lake site our deck fits perfectly between 2 trees with about 6" to spare on each side. Love our deck.
