Toyhauler ramp

I am buying a toyhauler. It is a 2014 Sandstorm 240. I want to put a patio kit on it. The dealer says it is aftermarket and may not be able to find it. So I am trying to find and install it myself. Does anyone know where I can find one?

Thanks
Mark

  • It's all about the liability. And marketing sales of higher priced units. There's a lot of homemade ones out there. Just find out how much the oem ramp is rated for, do not exceed it and you'll be fine.
  • I know that some people have taken them off of their haulers because they don't use them. Maybe someone has one on the forum?!?
  • Early on many of us made our own ramp cables and installed them without problem. But it seems some manufacturers are now claiming that their ramps are not designed for it unless it came from the manufacturer with them installed. Could be a way for more sales or a way to deny warranty claims, but do be aware of the after market installs.
  • On the Lippert website under "aftermarket patio system", it states that patio systems are only available to OEMs for new installation, parts replacement and warranty replacement. Has anybody ever successfully purchased a patio kit as a retrofit?
  • LCI offers an aftermarket 'patio kit' railing and mesh screen

    Who makes the Sandstone Toy Hauler?

    I've heard of a Sandstorm TH by Forest River.
