Abstract

A platform that can hold a cooking appliance is for use with an RV, camper, or other vehicle. A fixed portion is affixed to the rear bumper of the vehicle and is connected to a moving portion with a hinge. The platform is on the moving portion and is moved between a stowed position for travel and pivots away from the vehicle when the appliance is used. In the stowed position, the platform is closest to the rear wall of the vehicle. When the appliance is located on the platform, it overhangs the platform by a distance greater than the distance between the platform and the vehicle in the stowed position. The overhang prevents the appliance from being stored on the platform during transport because the appliance makes contact with the rear wall of the RV before the platform can rotate fully to the stored position.
