Hello all. I've tried searching the forums but I'm not finding what I'm looking for. Other than the Coachmen Catalina Legacy Edition 303RKP, are ther any TT's out there with side patios? If not, are there any suggestiins for TT's with good outdoor entertainment space? Wife and I are first time buyers and we appreciate any help we can get!

Thank you!!

Since you are first time buyers, I won't tell you not to buy what you want. I will say that depending on how you intend to use your new camper, a side patio may not be the best choice. If you are putting the trailer on a permanent lot that you know you have room for the patio, it may be a great choice for you.
If you are planning to travel to different campgrounds, it may be a horrible choice. Several things could keep you from putting out your side patio at different sites. Trees are not always in the best location. Fire pits seem like they are never far enough from the parking pad. And some campgrounds actually stake down their picnic tables.

Think it through and maybe take a drive through some local campgrounds on a weekend to see what actual space there is next to a camper when on any given site.

I use the Great Outdoors for a patio. I do not get it.

Just curious as to why you would want that. Most people are happy with a patio mat, chairs and a table.

Because he does, why does it matter to you?

Because they are first time buyers and may not know the drawbacks of an RV patio such as space and weight limitations on the patio and added weight to the rv. Also more places to leak. Usually only found on toy haulers that already have a drop down ramp to convert to a patio, otherwise pretty useless.

Some day they'll invent a blow-up patio so the weight limitations won't be so severe.
