Our camper is now setup at the campsite and we are starting to repair the decks today. One of the existing decks needs to be re-braced and about 2 feet added on to line up with where the camper is situated. Ideally, we would like to be able to walk out of the camper, directly on the deck. I have rounded up some of my favorite decks as inspiration to keep my dad motivated. He is a visual person and needs pictures when it comes to our DIY projects.
I love how you can walk right out to the deck from this camper and the tin roof creates a covered porch area.
This isn’t a camper shown below but the lower portion of the deck would be suitable for what we need.
This floating deck below is perfect for a step down option from this Airstream. The existing deck that we are currently working with is already raised but we may end up using our camper stair to create the stairway area.
Isn’t this next deck option clever? They actually wrapped the trailer in stained wood.
Here is the deck that the camper is now adjacent to. This is the before picture prior to us removing some of the rotted boards. I can’t wait to get this deck stained and setup with outdoor furniture. We are hoping at some point to screen in a section to increase the living space. When my parents are staying over, it would be great to have the screened area for sleeping. We can all fit inside but lets just say, it’s a bit to cozy :).
The campsite renovation chaos starts today, I hope it goes smoothly! We need to keep in mind that whatever we build, we need to be able to pull the camper out for maintenance as well as visiting other campsites. The structure essentially needs to be “floating” and we need the ability to just “pull up” to the structure. Feel free to share ideas, we are new to this camping thing ;).
