Parking Lot Comfort

While food is very important, so is the means to sit and enjoy yourselves at the party. A good tailgating party will have folding chairs and a tent to provide a good seating area. Additionally, you’ll need a way of carrying all this gear, which is where vehicle slide-out trays come in handy, both to carry everything and to create more places to sit if necessary. A custom slide out designed specifically for tailgating is ideal as you can have space set aside for ice chests, BBQs, refrigerators, chairs, tables, pop-up tents and even mounting walls for big screen TVs. Extendobed can design a tailgating slide out unit specifically to meet your needs and there is no cost for the design work.
