Abstract
A recreational vehicle includes a chassis, a body, a prime mover, a plurality of tractive elements, and a door assembly. The body is coupled to the chassis and defines an occupant area. At least one of the plurality of tractive elements is driven by the prime mover. The door assembly is reconfigurable between (i) a first state in which the door assembly defines at least a portion of a door for the occupant area and (ii) a second state in which the door assembly defines at least one of a ramp, a table, or a bed.
Claims20
A recreational vehicle comprising:
- a chassis;
- a body coupled to the chassis, the body defining an occupant area;
- and
- a door assembly reconfigurable between (i) a first state in which the door assembly defines at least a portion of a door for the occupant area and (ii) a second state in which the door assembly defines at least one of a ramp, a table, or a bed.
A recreational vehicle comprising:
- a chassis;
- a body coupled to the chassis, the body defining an occupant area;
- one or more sensors;
- a door assembly reconfigurable between (i) a first state in which the door assembly defines at least a portion of a door for the occupant area and (ii) a second state in which the door assembly defines at least one of a ramp, a table, or a bed;
- and
- a control system configured to:
- acquire a state of the door assembly;
- acquire a vehicle characteristic from the one or more sensors;
- acquire a proximity characteristic from the one or more sensors, wherein the proximity characteristic includes a distance between the recreational vehicle and an obstacle;
- restrict movement of the door assembly from the first state to the second state in response to determining that the recreational vehicle is in motion based on the vehicle characteristic;
- restrict movement of the recreational vehicle when the door assembly is in the second state;
- and
- restrict movement of the door assembly from the first state to the second state when the distance is less than a threshold.
A recreational vehicle comprising:
- a chassis;
- a body coupled to the chassis, the body defining an occupant area;
- and
- a door assembly including:
- a main body;
- and
- an extension panel pivotably coupled to the main body,
- wherein the door assembly is reconfigurable between (i) a first state in which the main body provides at least a portion of a door for the occupant area, (ii) a second state in which the main body and the extension panel provides a ramp, and (iii) a third state in which the extension panel provides a tabletop.
