Here are some additional pics.

From the floor of the garage to the ground is 40".

The ramp door is 96" and the flip out part is 20".

I don't know the 'degree' of the slope because I don't know how to figure that out.

Since you have an leveling system...can you put it in manual or modify it to lower the rear and or jack up the front to load the bike? If I am at a rally and have to load the bike in the rain, I back up to a hill so the ramp door is level.


Tom, What manufacturer is your toy hauler. Haven't seen one like that before.

Just looked through that website. What kind of toy hauler do you have ? And how far is yours from the floor of the garage to the ground.

That seems to be the problem with my toy hauler - it is so high from the ground thereby making the ramp very steep.

I have seen custom standoffs made that attached to top of door & keep the door at a lesser angle.Then lengthen the flip out ramp to whatever it needs to be.The standoffs where in a D shape made out of pipe and the size would depend on the angle you needed the ramp at. My friends load two trikes in the toy hauler with no issue after they added the custom standoffs.

We have a pull behind forrest river wolf pack height is about 35 inches. We load 2 bikes, my heritage and husband's street glide. Heritage pretty easy, street glide is a little more difficult, that's why we got the ramps and spanner.

Just recently picked up a previously owned 24' Play Mor Motorsport Deluxe and and been setting it up the way I need it for my race Harley. Both my race and streetbike are low to the ground so some mods were needed.
Added the bumper extensions on the door ), repositioned the diamond plate transition flap so it wouldn't hang up on top and added a double hinged reinforced ramp (I have since flipped it over so it's flat without the folded up sides) and it goes up and down beautifully without any other help needed. If I want I can raise the front for the rig to make the slope even less angled.
