Winnebago Towables has obtained a utility patent (U.S. Patent No. 10,683,047) for the exoskeleton structure debuted on the company’s new HIKE travel trailer series.
This utility patent covers the addition of an exterior frame to the internal frame of a towable RV, which houses the living space.
According to Winnebago, the exoskeleton offers unique exterior styling and is built to accommodate active outdoor lifestyles and a flexible storage system that make the HIKE exceed the expectations of an everyday travel trailer.
“The HIKE trailer with the integrated exoskeleton offers unprecedented versatility to meet any individual or family’s outdoor lifestyle,” said Winnebago General Manager Joel Eberlein. “The exoskeleton allows for multiple accessory attachments – from skis to kayaks, surf and paddleboards, or just additional cargo storage to be easily mounted and secured. The rear receiver adds even more options for taking along gear.”
