Side Patios-Big Enough to be Functional?
Does anyone have any experience with the side patios available on several toy haulers these days?
We'd like to use it as our dining area, but feel it might be a little tight for our family of 5. If nothing else, I imagine that giant sliding glass door must brighten things up in the coach and make the space feel more open.
We don't travel as often as I'd like to, but when we are able to get away, it is usually for 2 weeks since I'm working from the trailer during some of that time. With a family of 5, our current space can start to feel pretty tight pretty early on. Especially since everyone needs to stay in the trailer until I'm done with work that day (usually a little after lunch).
Anyway, my thought was the big glass door might make make my wife feel less claustrophobic and I was hoping we could fit a table and 5 chairs on the patio. But none of the manufacturers list the square footage of their patios. Most pictures show the patios empty. But when I have found some youtube videos with people or furniture on the patios, they suddenly look a little small to fit our needs.
I know these are relatively new, but I'm just wondering if anyone on the forum has a unit with a side patio.
For those with a rear patio, I know these are larger, but I'm also wondering if they get as much use as you thought when you first bought your trailer.
