It turns the area just outside your rig into a proper hangout spot without hauling out chairs and searching for level ground. The [IBEX RVS3](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/forest-river/ibex/rvs3) and [Springdale 266DECK](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/keystone/springdale/266deck) are two well-known examples of this layout. These floor plans go by several names depending on the brand: rear patio, patio deck, or back porch. Many patios on [travel trailer toy haulers](“/travel-trailers/with/garage”) offer a ramp to drive toys like ATVs or motorcycles into the rear of the camper. ## Floor plans - [Catalina Trail Blazer 27THS](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/coachmen/catalina-trail-blazer/27ths.md): 33 ft 10 in, sleeps 7, 13 for sale - [Ibex RVS3](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/forest-river/ibex/rvs3.md): 40 ft, sleeps 6, MSRP $85,861, 2 for sale - [Momentum MAV 27MAV](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/grand-design/momentum-mav/mav-27mav.md): 32 ft 2 in, sleeps 6, MSRP $40,552, 112 for sale - [No Boundaries RVS3](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/forest-river/no-boundaries/rvs3.md): 40 ft, sleeps 5, 3 for sale - [Ozark 2800THKX](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/forest-river/ozark/2800thkx.md): 33 ft 7 in, sleeps 6, 2 for sale - [Salem FSX 30VCVIEW](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/forest-river/salem-fsx/30vcview.md): 36 ft 6 in, sleeps 6 - [Springdale 245ML](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/keystone/springdale/245ml.md): 29 ft 7 in, sleeps 6, MSRP $50,840, 5 for sale - [Springdale 266DECK](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/keystone/springdale/266deck.md): 30 ft 2 in, sleeps 4, MSRP $51,826, 4 for sale ## Benefits of rear patio - Dedicated outdoor space off the ground - Built-in railings make it safer for kids and guests - Awning-covered decks stay usable in light rain ## Things to consider - Deck adds length, check your campsite size before booking - Patios with wood construction should be closed during rain to avoid rotting - Works best at sites with rear clearance and level ground ## Similar layouts - [Fifth wheels with a rear patio](https://rvenvy.com/fifth-wheel-trailers/with/rear-patio) - [Class A motorhomes with a rear patio](https://rvenvy.com/class-a-motorhomes/with/rear-patio) - [Travel trailers with a loft](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/with/loft) --- Most rear patio travel trailers fall into two broad styles. Some have a **fold-down deck** that stows flat during travel and drops into place once you're parked, while others feature a **fixed platform** that's always extended. Fold-down decks are more common on lighter, off-road-capable rigs like the [IBEX RVS3](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/forest-river/ibex/rvs3) and the [No Boundaries RVS3](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/forest-river/no-boundaries/rvs3), which are built for boondocking where a proper outdoor lounge area earns its keep. Fixed-deck models like the [Springdale 266DECK](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/keystone/springdale/266deck) tend to show up on larger, more residential-style trailers. One thing to think through before buying: the rear patio replaces what would otherwise be the rear wall of the trailer, so interior square footage and storage are often trimmed to make room for it. If you rely heavily on rear pass-through storage or a rear bedroom, compare those layouts carefully. For campers who spend long weekends or weeks at one site, the trade-off is usually worth it. For weekend warriors who move every day or two, the setup-and-teardown of a fold-down deck can feel like extra work. If you want a rear patio in a larger rig, also check out [fifth wheel trailers with a rear patio](https://rvenvy.com/fifth-wheel-trailers/with/rear-patio), which have significantly more floor plans to choose from. And if you're after a more self-contained outdoor setup, [travel trailers with a kitchen island](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/with/kitchen-island) pair well with a patio deck for al fresco cooking. ## Popular questions ### What is a rear patio on a travel trailer? A rear patio is a built-in outdoor deck attached to the back of the trailer, accessed through a rear door. It typically includes a railing and sometimes an awning. Depending on the model, the deck either folds down after you park or stays fixed during travel. Brands market them under different names including patio deck, back porch, and deck model, but they all refer to the same feature. ### Do rear patio travel trailers work for off-grid camping? Some of the most popular rear patio floor plans are purpose-built for off-grid use. Models like the IBEX RVS3 and No Boundaries RVS3 are lightweight, off-road capable trailers with fold-down rear decks designed for boondocking. Others are more campground-focused. Check the floor plan's specs for solar prep, tank capacity, and suspension before assuming it's set up for off-grid use. ### Does the rear patio take away from interior living space? Yes, to some degree. The deck occupies the footprint of what would otherwise be a rear wall or storage bay, so many rear patio floor plans trade a bit of interior square footage or under-bed storage for the outdoor space. It's a real trade-off worth comparing side by side, especially if you need rear pass-through storage for gear or bikes. Canonical page: https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/with/rear-patio
