I was wondering if anyone has added cables or other means so you can use your ramps as a deck? Where and how did you mount your cables?

Ours came with a set of cables and factory installed connection points along with the patio room my DW wanted. We use our ramp as a deck quite often and will put up the ramp room on extended stays.

I did this on my Winners Circle. I used HD rated eye bolts and washers. Drilled the hole 3/4 of the way out the door in the aluminum frame. Then secured the cables to the upper door frame with HD clamps. It worked wonderfully.

I have cables made but only used it once or twice. With mine if the beds are down it's not much use.

Jetboater that is what I have in mind. Did those eye bolts bolt all the way through or screwed into the metal frame?

My 2009 28KS Desert Fox TH came with the ramp door setup and a screened room that goes around the deck, plus the second (bottom) bed of the double beds in rear converts into a fold up couch that will face the inside or the outside deck area, depending on what you want.

I've attached my ratchet strap tie downs to level it and sit.
