a decking attached to said frame; at least one leg extending between the frame and a ground surface; an absorbing mechanism, wherein the absorbing mechanism is comprised of a clip, a rubber grommet and a lock; and a hinge attached to said side panel and the frame for repositioning the deck device from a stowed position to a deployed position. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The repositionable deck device of claim 1, wherein the hinge is a spring loaded hinge. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The repositionable deck device of claim 1, wherein the at least one leg is telescoping and hingedly attached to the frame. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The repositionable deck device of claim 1, wherein the absorbing mechanism is positioned between the decking and the side panel when the deck device is in the stowed position. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The repositionable deck device of claim 1, wherein the decking is substantially parallel and adjacent to the side panel when the deck device is in the stowed position. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The repositionable deck device of claim 1, wherein the decking is substantially perpendicular to the side panel when the deck device is in the deployed position. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The repositionable deck device of claim 1 further comprising a ramp portion. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The repositionable deck device of claim 7, wherein the ramp portion is hingedly attached to the frame. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The repositionable deck device of claim 7, wherein the ramp portion extends between a top surface of the decking and a ground surface at an angle. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The repositionable deck device of claim 1, wherein the decking further comprises a pocket for receipt of an awning post. ### Claim 11 A repositionable deck device for a structure having a side panel, wherein the repositionable deck device comprises: a frame comprised of longitudinal members and lateral members; a decking attached to said frame; a plurality of telescoping legs each extending between the frame and a ground surface; an absorbing mechanism, wherein the absorbing mechanism is comprised of a clip, a rubber grommet and a lock; a hinge attached to said side panel and the frame; and a ramp. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The repositionable deck device of claim 11, wherein the decking is repositionable between a stowed position and a deployed position. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The repositionable deck device of claim 11, wherein the decking is rotatable about the hinge relative to the side panel. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The repositionable deck device of claim 11, wherein the hinge is a spring loaded hinge. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The repositionable deck device of claim 11, wherein the absorbing mechanism is positioned between the decking and the side panel when the deck device is in the stowed position. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The repositionable deck device of claim 1, wherein the decking is substantially perpendicular to the side panel when the deck device is in the deployed position.
