When were Balconies first used in the US?
I have seen these on 5th wheelers in the US but not Travel Trailers. I would say these would have appeared in the late 1960's in Australia

I always scratch my head when I see those set up at a campground with the perimeter railing and such. Whatever floats a persons boat, but I do not see the draw in setting that up to have about 64 sq ft of elevated patio, especially given the track record you read about on boards with those doors, where one is lucky to have them support the toys when used as a ramp, without an eventual failure.
Last time out some folks were beside us with one sitting on it in the evening, 4 people in chairs along with 2 dogs. Looked like tight quarters to me, but they evidently enjoyed sitting there basically up each others rear end.
