The present invention relates to a slidable platform assembly and a method of attaching the assembly to the front end of a vehicle. The assembly comprises a frame attachable to a receiver secured to the front end of the vehicle and also comprises a platform slidable within the frame. Various embodiments of slidable platform assembly and methods of attachment to the receiver of the vehicle are herein disclosed.

A convertible ramp system facilitates transfer of personnel between spaced elevations. The ramp system includes a deck assembly, a convertible main ramp, and a convertible extension ramp. The convertible main ramp has a proximal end hinged to the deck assembly and a distal end adapted for being mechanically lifted and lowered relative to the deck assembly. Both the main ramp and the extension ramp incorporates an adjustable frame assembly and a series of simultaneously articulating foot treads carried by the frame assembly. The ramps are selectively convertible between a stairway configuration and a substantially flat and continuous runway configuration.

A side rail kit for a golf cart includes a frame bracket mountable to a frame of the golf cart. A pair of step brackets are mountable to the frame bracket. The step brackets extend from the frame member when the step brackets are mounted to the frame bracket. A distal end portion of each of the step brackets is spaced from the frame bracket when the step brackets are mounted to the frame bracket. A step rail is mountable to the step brackets.

A bumper step (1) for installation on a vehicle, such as a truck, having a step portion (3) and a tube armature (10) and a Z-clip bracket (11). The tube armature is inserted into a rear tube chassis (5) of the vehicle and the bumper step is secured to the vehicle by bolting the Z-clip bracket to s slot (8) in a side chassis rail (7) of the vehicle.

A running board assembly includes a board body having an elongated length that extends in a vehicle longitudinal direction. The board body includes a center body part having a first exterior facing surface that defines a stepping area and an end body part having a second exterior facing surface adjacent the first exterior facing surface. The center and end body parts formed as separate parts and connected together at end surfaces forming a seam that extends in a widthwise direction of the board body.

This disclosure details motor vehicles equipped with vehicle exterior components. One or more of the vehicle exterior components can be used both for their primary function when attached to the vehicle and for use as sand ladders when removed from the vehicle. In the first configuration, the vehicle exterior components may be configured as running boards, hood vents, grill inserts, bumper inserts, tailgate inserts, and/or door beams, etc.

An emergency exit door assembly for a vehicle. The door assembly can include a door panel that is movably coupled to the wall of the vehicle. The door panel can have an inner surface and an outer surface. The door panel can be configured for selective movement between a closed position and an open position in which an opening within the wall is exposed. A headboard component can be incorporated into the door panel, and a bed pedestal within the vehicle can be positioned in proximity to the headboard component when the door panel is in a closed position.

A multiple hitch assembly and method of use thereof including a hitch platform having a channel member and multiple hitch member having a block base. A dampening member may be affixed such that coupling of the multiple hitch member by locked engagement of received through holes of the block base and paired side holes disposed in flanges of the channel member compresses the dampening member upon the recessed column of the hitch platform to absorb and thus attenuate the load and associated torque imparted by movement and rub between the hitch platform and multiple hitch member to thereby reduce associated rattle noise, and vibration.

A portable dwelling unit comprises a novel floor plan configuration providing a full height bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, and seating area in a portable dwelling that fits within a standard parking spot. Other features and advantages of the present invention include a multi-function table, outdoor dining space, and additional storage capacity beyond what would be available in a traditional trailered dwelling unit.
