A patented rooftop SkyDeck is pushing space availability upward, offering new-found freedom and enjoyment high above street level.

The SkyDeck made an early appearance this year at the Oklahoma FMCA Convention with a diesel coach test marketed by MHC. When MHC ceased operations, SkyDeck sought a new dancing partner.

Moving on to their next opportunity, SkyDeck has recently signed an exclusive agreement with Thor America. The company will manufacture a patented fifth-wheel and travel trailer line that was introduced at the Louisville show.

Basement models allowed RVers the extra storage space they had been craving for years.

Slide-outs brought expanded living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms and have been one of the most popular options in the RV industry for years.

The SkyDeck is a logical extension of the RVers search for more space and more exciting ways to use their travel trailers and motorhomes. This could be the next generation idea and may enjoy a comparable success story when it is finally discovered by consumers.

The idea is simple, an open-air deck, complete with lounge seating, wet bars, and built-in barbecues. The SkyDeck can add up to 40% more entertainment space than comparable length units.

If possible, Thor will establish exclusive statewide territories and provide dealers with a real attention-getter that will draw customers into their dealerships. Thor's expectations are that the SkyDeck rooftop deck towables and motorized units are the next generation of RV's, for the next generation of RVers.
