RV Decks: Expand Your Outdoor Living Space

You chose the RV lifestyle for freedom, adventure, and the great outdoors. But if you're honest, that tiny step coming out of your RV door isn't exactly "outdoor living."

What if you had a real deck at your RV site? A place to set up chairs, fire up the grill, and actually spread out?

That's exactly what an RV deck provides—and it's more achievable than you might think.

The RV Deck Concept

An RV deck is a portable deck designed to complement your RV setup. It sits adjacent to your RV, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor space.

What it gives you:

• A flat, stable surface for furniture and activities

• Room for chairs, tables, a grill, maybe even a hammock

• A proper outdoor living area instead of sitting in camp chairs on uneven ground

• An elevated space that stays cleaner than ground-level camping

  
  

What it doesn't require:

• Permanent installation

• Modification to your RV

• Concrete footings or construction permits

• Giving up the flexibility of RV life

Who Gets RV Decks?

Full-Time RVers

If you've committed to the full-time RV lifestyle, your "home" deserves a proper outdoor space. A deck at your permanent or semi-permanent site transforms your setup from "camping" to "living."

Seasonal Campers

Many RV owners keep their rig at a seasonal site—a lake property, a favorite campground, a family land spot. A deck makes that seasonal site feel like a true getaway.

RV Park Residents

Living in an RV park long-term? A deck creates your own outdoor living room. It's the difference between a parking spot and a home.

Property Owners with RV Hookups

Some folks have property with RV hookups for guests, family visits, or rental income. A deck makes that RV pad into a proper guest accommodation.

RV Deck Sizing

The right deck size depends on your RV and how you plan to use the space.

Small Decks (Entry Level)

Sizes: 6x8, 6x12, 8x8

Best for:

• Small RVs and travel trailers

• Basic entry platform with room for a couple chairs

• Tight sites with limited space

Starting at: $69/month

Medium Decks (Most Popular for RVs)

Sizes: 8x12, 10x12, 10x16

Best for:

• Mid-size RVs and fifth wheels

• Room for a small dining table, several chairs, and a grill

• Comfortable outdoor entertaining space

Starting at: $115/month

Large Decks (Maximum Outdoor Living)

Sizes: 12x16, 12x20, or larger

Best for:

• Large RVs and permanent setups

• Multiple activity zones

• Serious outdoor living

Starting at: $194/month

Covered vs. Uncovered for RV Decks

Uncovered Decks

Pros:

• Lower cost

• Open to the sky

• Works great if you have awning coverage from your RV

Best for: Sites with natural shade, budget-conscious buyers, or those who mainly use the deck in mornings/evenings

Covered Decks

Pros:

• Shade from sun

• Protection from rain

• Usable in more weather conditions

• Protects furniture and decor

Best for: Full-time RVers, sites without natural shade, Texas heat, anyone who wants maximum usability

The price difference: A roof typically adds $50-150/month depending on deck size. In Texas summers, most people say it's worth every penny.

How RV Deck Delivery Works

Site Assessment

Before building your deck, we need to understand your setup:

• RV dimensions and door location

• Site layout and available space

• Design needed

For RV sites, we may ask for photos or measurements to ensure we build the right size and can deliver successfully.

Delivery Considerations

RV sites vary widely. Some things to think about:

Access: Can we access your site? We need 2' wider than the narrow side of the deck to get it in (so for a 8x16, we would need 10' of space).

Park rules: If you're in an RV park, does the park allow decks? Some have restrictions on size or require approval.

Setup

We position and level your deck adjacent to your RV. The goal is a seamless transition—step out of your RV, step onto your deck.

Setup typically takes 2-4 hours depending on site conditions and deck size.

Can You Move the Deck?

This is one of the best things about portable decks for RV owners: yes, you can potentially relocate it.

If you move your RV to a new site (same property or different property within our service area), we can often relocate your deck for a delivery fee. You're not locked into one location forever.

This flexibility is perfect for:

• RVers who move seasonally between sites

• Those who might upgrade to a different property

• Anyone who values keeping their options open

Note: Relocation depends on the new site's accessibility and conditions. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.

RV Deck Features to Consider

Steps

Your deck may need steps depending on how it's positioned relative to ground level. We build sturdy steps that integrate with the deck structure.

Railings

Railings aren't just decorative—they provide safety and can help define the space. We offer a couple different railing options.

Gates

If you have kids or pets, a gate in the railing system helps keep them safely on the deck. Especially important for elevated decks.

Positioning

Think about:

• Which RV door will access the deck?

• Are there storage door nearby that need to be worked around?

• Where does shade fall at different times of day?

• Where do you want to place furniture?

• What view do you want from the deck?

The RV + Deck Lifestyle

Adding a deck to your RV setup changes the experience:

Mornings: Coffee on the deck, watching the sunrise, fresh air before the day heats up.

Daytime: A shaded spot to read, relax, or watch the kids play—not baking inside the RV or sitting on uneven ground.

Evenings: Grill dinner on the deck, eat outside, enjoy the evening breeze without mosquitoes from ground-level sitting.

Gatherings: Actually have space to host friends or family. Set up chairs, a table, maybe some string lights. It's a real outdoor room.

Storage: A stable, flat surface for coolers, gear, outdoor equipment—not scattered around on the ground.

Real Investment Numbers

Let's look at what an RV deck actually costs:

Deck	Cash Price	Monthly Payment
8x10 treated, no roof	$2,320+Tax	$105/mo
8x12 treated, no roof	$2,538+Tax	$115/mo
10x12 treated, with roof	$4,836+Tax	$219/mo
10x16 treated, with roof	$5,872+Tax	$265/mo

For many RV owners, that $100-250/month is absolutely worth the upgrade in quality of life—especially for those spending significant time at their site.

Rent-to-Own Makes It Possible

One of the biggest advantages of Hershy Decks: rent-to-own financing with no credit check.

This matters for RV owners because:

• Many have chosen RV life partly for financial flexibility

• Traditional financing can be difficult for "non-traditional" purchases

• No credit check means your financial history doesn't block you

If you can budget $100-300/month, you can have an RV deck. Period.
