Was on a trip this past weekend and passed a trailer dealership and out of the corner of my eye I noticed a travel trailer or fifth wheel unit that had a pop-up extension protruding vertically. It appeared to create a large skylight or just an open airiness effect. Thought it could have been a raised bunk sight for the kids but just not sure. It had screens all around by the looks of it. Looked to extend up a good 3 feet or such.
Does anyone know the manufacturer?? Just curious about it.
Perfectly satisfied with my little Coachmen.

It's an Outback loft. I just looked at one in passing while at an RV dealer.

No elavator though so it's not a consideration.

On second thought, if the window opens it might be a comfy subsitute for a tree stand. Just need rifle ports.

WOW! Didn't realize that it was that that high of an extension. Pretty cool design.
Thanks for the quick hits.

Hadn't seen that before. I really like the idea... The layout of that thing would work really well for me and the loft would make up for the space I lose when carrying my tools.

yep, saw one of those at the dealer north of Richmond off I-95 didn't catch the name. but can you use that back bedroom area without raising the top? if not, I wouldn't want it.

Yes you can use the rear bedroom/cargo area when loft is closed.
