Designing your ideal outdoor space is just as important as choosing an interior RV floorplan you’ll be comfortable with. That’s why we’re lovers of outdoor patio lighting, comfortable camp chairs, and portable firepits

But what about when your RV has a built-in deck? Or if you build a deck at your permanent campsite?

Lucky for you, we’ve collected unique RV deck ideas to give you direction and inspiration to design your ideal outdoor living space. 

Portable RV Deck Ideas for Toy Haulers

One of the coolest benefits of some toy haulers is the rear loading ramp that doubles as an RV deck. Once you get your mini bikes or other toys unloaded, it’s time to set up your deck as an additional outdoor living space. 

Here’s some creative inspiration to help you design the ideal RV deck space on your toy hauler: 

Does it get more dreamy than rolling out of bed and enjoying a hot morning beverage on your RV deck?

Sometimes all it takes is a pair of cozy camp chairs, coffee, and your furry companion to make the perfect RV deck!

Adding a camp chair, a small folding table, and an insect repeller creates the perfect workspace on your RV deck.

Put out your patio mat, workout equipment, and some outdoor games and playground toys to start your RV morning off right!

Your furry companion won’t take its eyes off your toddler (and you won’t have to either) once your RV deck features a reclining chair, side table, and kid’s high chair for mealtime.

Why leave your RV for a cookout when you can set your deck up with a portable grill, reclining chairs, and a center table? Bonus – use your reclining chair for temporary paddle gear storage!

RV Deck Ideas for Permanent Campsites

Full-time RVing gives you the ability to roam to your heart’s content. Sometimes, though, you’ll want a more permanent campsite to put down roots – even if it’s just for a few months at a time. 

Check out some of the coolest RV deck ideas we’ve seen at permanent campsites around the US: 

This beautiful RV deck in California provides shade on sunny days and beautiful outdoor lighting in the evening. Plus, it was recently upgraded to feature a hot tub!

Stepping out of this used travel trailer never looked so good! Check out these before and after photos of how this permanent RV deck came together with that beautiful dark stain. 

Sometimes you just need a place to catch hopefully 90% of the sand as you make your way right from the beach into your truck camper!

Who would’ve thought your RV deck could be screened in and feature an L-shaped couch, outdoor dining table, string lights, and even a couple of chandeliers?

When you’re long-term camping in Ontario, a screened-in porch really comes in handy for avoiding bugs and rain.

Why keep all of your RV decking running in the same direction when you could get more creative?

Apparently, when you have a handy husband, and you’re staying put for a while, you build a cute RV deck!

This DIY RV deck kit is easy to assemble, fits completely under your extended RV awning, and features the perfect places to house outdoor plants. 

Arrrgh you kidding?! That is quite possibly the largest, most extravagant, most swashbuckling permanent RV deck we’ve ever seen!

Is that an RV deck or an arbor? Either way, it sure is a cute way to enter your RV or sit out and enjoy the sunset.
