My Raptor is used to haul both my ATV and Harley Ultra at the same time. So I load off center by need, ATV one side and Harley on the other side. I load the Harley first, up the right side, as close to the wall as I can get it, right into a locking front wheel chock. I agree that the center of the ramp door is the weak point, and although that ramp is supposed to be rated for 2,000 lbs, it seems to be maxed out at much less. I assume that 2000 lbs is a distributed load, not a point load. I have not had any cracking of the ramp yet, but it flexes a lot with the 850 lb Harley and my 250 lb butt sitting on it.
Like many items in most RV's, they provide the minimum they can get away with. When my Raptor was brand new, I spent the first month making improvements & corrections to factory mistakes. I'd rather do it myself and know its done right, than waste my time going back & forth to the dealer and depend on their minimum wage help.
