INTEGRALLY MOLDED RECREATIONAL VEHICLE BODY
A recreational vehicle body includes a base and a chassis integrally molded with the base, the chassis including a plurality of ribs that extend downward from the base. The recreational vehicle body includes one or more layers that are molded to integrally form the base and chassis.
RV AWNING SYSTEMS AND RELATED METHODS
An energized mounting bracket includes a bracket body with one or more cavities and a charge controller and one or more rechargeable batteries located in the one or more cavities. One or more solar panels can be mounted directly to the bracket body or mounted to a housing of an awning unit and the awning unit coupled to the mounting bracket. The one or more solar panels, the one or more rechargeable batteries, and the charge controller can be wired together to enable charging of the rechargeable batteries with the one or more solar panels. Power from the rechargeable batteries can power a motor mounted with the awning unit and optionally power DC outlets.
Outdoor kitchen accessory for recreational vehicles
A kitchen accessory for a recreational vehicle includes a box configured to be mounted within a side wall of the recreational vehicle. A vertical support post is anchored within said box and a drop-down support assembly is rotationally mounted on the vertical support post. The drop-down support assembly includes a plate on which a cooking component is mounted. The cooking component includes a stove and an optional table extension. The drop-down support assembly is configured to extend the cooking component from the box to a deployed position for use outside the vehicle, and to retract the cooking component completely into the box in a stowed position for storage within the box. An additional table assembly can be pivotably mounted to the box for storage within and extension outside the box. An auxiliary support component can be mounted on the vertical support post to support an auxiliary device, such as a television.

Awning assembly
An awning assembly contains a frame and a frame cover attached to the frame. The frame is adapted to be removably fixed to an associated structure over a window or opening, such as on a recreational vehicle or camper, for example.
Adapter and leveling base for utility vehicle mounted grill
Provided in an adaptor and leveling base for mounting a grill to a utility vehicle and leveling the grill. Vertical legs of an adaptor may allow the adapter to mount via a mounting interface, such as spaced pockets of a side panel of a utility vehicle bed, or other vehicle mounted fixture, having pockets or brackets sized to receive and support the vertical legs. Support members coupled to the vertical legs may position a platform to which a grill is mounted in a use position, and alternatively, in a stowage position.
EXPANDABLE WALL SHELTER
An expandable wall shelter includes a body and a movable wall section connected to the body and movable between a retracted position and an extended position along a linear path. At least one linkage assembly is operably connected between the body and the movable wall section for operably and movably supporting the movable wall section relative to the body for movement of the movable wall section to and between its retracted and extended positions. The at least one linkage assembly includes: (i) an inner link including opposite inner and outer ends; and (ii) an outer link including opposite inner and outer ends, wherein: the inner end of the inner link is pivotally connected to the body; the said outer end of the outer link is pivotally connected to the movable wall section; and, the outer end of the inner link is pivotally connected to the inner end of the outer link. A linkage assembly for such a movable wall section is also provided.

Drawer assembly for mounting to a cargo area of a vehicle
Drawer assembly for mounting to a cargo area of a vehicle. The drawer assembly includes: a drawer body defining a longitudinal axis and configured to be mounted to a track system to allow moving towards and away from the cargo area along the longitudinal axis; and a utility module pivotally mounted to the drawer body about an axis arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The utility module is pivotable between a storage position, where the utility module is received within the drawer body, and an access position, where the utility module is arranged to extend away from the drawer body.
SECURITY MOUNTING BRACKET DEVICE FOR A CROSSBAR
Provided herein is a security mounting bracket device that can be used to securely connect a crossbar to a mounted object. The device is shaped to form a contoured fit with the crossbar and adapted for use with a security nut and bolt rendering both nut and bolt unexposed outside of the device and inaccessible to tools that may be used to forcibly remove the mounted object. The security mounting bracket device can be used as an antitheft device as a security socket is required to remove the nut form the security mounting bracket. The contoured fit reduces the movement of the crossbar within the security mounting bracket device therefore reducing vibrationally induced failure of the mount and loss of mounted object. The security mounting bracket device smooth edges and unexposed nut and bolt also make it a safer bracket for the user in assembly. The size and contour of the security mounting bracket device can be customized to connect any shape of a crossbar to a mounted object such as a guide rail attached to a platform or to a platform directly. The crossbar can be mounted perpendicularly or at other angles, to the security mounting bracket device or and can be used to connect a plurality of mounted objects for example platforms for tents or cargo containers.
