Toy Hauler Ramp Door defective
Anyone else having this issue? How do you load your heavy motorcycle? Brand new 2013 300MP Raptor. Aug 15, 2013 we put our 2012 Electric Glide Classic into the toy hauler for the 1st time, directly...

Sorry to hear what happened. Common sense says a typical toy hauler ramp should easily handle the weight of a full-dress, touring bike. These manufacturers know exactly what 90% of these ramps are used for--ATV's and motorcycles. Like everything else in a typical TT or toy hauler these days, most are engineered to handle the bare minimum and nothing more---a sad, but true reality.
FWIW, I've winched a 1100 lb. jetski and trailer into my toy hauler a number of times without issue. I believe this is a bit more weight than a full-dress, street bike.
IMO, you're never gonna get a straight answer (especially in writing) on your ramp from the dealer or manufacturer. Unfortunately, they have more to lose than gain my doing so.
+1 with what ksss recommended. Reinforce your door with some 3/4" plywood or something similar. If you don't, chances are the door will "bubble" again.
Good luck!
