Did a search and didn't find anything. I have looked through all the parts and accessory books, and haven't found much. Looking for something that could make my rear door into a nice patio/porch. Something stable with adjustable hight for unlevel ground. Something so we can put some furnature on the level door and have it not move much. Got a few campgrounds that back up to the river and would love to sit out there and chill.

Thanks,
Mav

I really didn't want to do the cables/chains, but it does seem to be the easiest.

Edit: I can't see the pics in the posts, but I will check them out at home. I would really like to do a jack system with a screw hieght adjustment or maybe a hydraulic setup. We'll see. Got all winter to figure this one out.
