Voltage Patio Set

We recently purchased a 2014 Voltage 3605. It came with the fold out patio set which is bolted to the rear door. We will never use this feature, it is really just a pain in the but when we want to load our toys in the back. Is there anyone out there who would like to buy it? We want to add an extra awning, so willing to trade if there is a dealer who reads this.

We are in Northern California about an hour north of San Francisco.

Thanks all.....

If you are referring to the fold-up side railings, you can just pull the pins and take them off. If it was me, I'd store them someplace (like on the garage rafters) just in case I decided to trade in or sell the Voltage.

That's what I did... because we use it to carry the rzr, it's a complete PIA to fold, unfold, fold...

I took it off and though I don't use it, I kept it in case I sell it.


Thanks,

Mark

That patio feature is the one place where we hang out the most. Try it before you dump it.

I agree. The patio was an option that I did not really have an interest in, but after trying it out I found that I really liked it.

I personally like the patio idea… the problem for us is we use the trailer to haul our rzr and having to fold and unfold every time we move the rzr in and out gets old.

Sigh, the demons we must fight.


LOL

For me, I don't mind folding and unfolding the patio rails to load or unload the 730 pounds of motorcycle. The walk around helps me with the pucker factor of getting the machine in without breaking the rear tire loose and out without sliding the front tire all the way down the ramp.

It's a steep ramp sitting on two wheels people!!!

That's why you should back it in…

Well hell, I never thought of that! Maybe better, bring her through the front door and head out down the ramp.

I was thinking of a turntable, like they used for the original bat mobile!

That would work but I wouldn't be able to get it out of the Condor chock. Besides, being puckered keeps my 68 year old heart pumping.

Ain't no love up in here today
