Catalina Toy Hauler ramp

My Catalina Toy Hauler ramp is too steep to load my Honda trike, because the tailpipes drag. Any suggestions on how to extend ramp to make it less steep.
  • If you back your ramp to a curb you shouldn't have any loading problems and like stated above raise the front make sure sure you have you wheel chock in. You can buy plastic ramps or just build some wooden ones yourself.
  • I raised the front of the RV to lower the back for ONE outing, ENOUGH. I now lower the ramp door onto a 8" block and bought a 1/4" piece of aluminum plating to extend the ramp to the ground. No more high-centering!
  • I can't help with the ramp angle, as I have not received my toy hauler yet. It is due in the end of the month.

    My question is, what do you think of the unit as a whole. This will be the first RV i have owned and I am having all kinds of thoughts go through my head. Have you towed it for any distance yet and if so, how does it tow? I will be using an Equalizer E-4 hitch and am nervous about the whole process.

    My toy will be a H-D ultra, co I am sure I will run into the same problem. Can't wait to find out though.
  • 2x10 boards several feet longer than ramp door to make loading angle better.
