    Default What's the best way of Loading a '23 RT in a 2024 Grey Wolf Toy Hauler?

    Looking for the best and easiest way to load a '23 RT into a 26MBRR tow behind Toy Hauler. The ramp's too steep and the Spyder's front-end hits the ramp before the tires. Is it better to back the truck up on a set of ramps to achieve a lesser angle, or is it better to add aluminum ramps to the rear of the camper to lessen the angle? Anyone have experience?

    The ramp doesn't appear to be a storage area that you can leave folded down and expect it to carry the weight of a Spyder.
    It looks more like a patio to party on when you're parked.

    Looking around the https://forestriverinc.com/ website, they have a number of trailers that have a rear ramp.
    All of the ones I looked at referred to it as a Ramp Door Patio Deck.

    I would contact Forest River directly.

    I bought a tri-fold ramp and drilled out the rivets to create three separate ramps. Put two 1/4 20 bolts ground down to pins on each ramp that go in holes on the trailer ramp. There is a shift component hanging down in the middle under the Spyder that you have to watch at break over while loading. Break it and it is expensive.

    If your ramps are too steep you are facing to do something like said above, or parking with the nose of the trailer in the air to get the back down!

    Do you have a set of the stackable level blocks for your RV? You can use those to raise the ramp a little and create a pre-ramp to the ramp. I have several sets in my toy hauler cos they are useful for many things.

    Not experienced with toy hauler, but when loading on utility trailer would back up to curb somewhere help level the ramp, might still have raise tongue depending length of ramp & what’s available.
