Our co-hosts this summer purchased a new travel trailer and it isn't any better. The outside top step was 10" into the trailer and they could barely manage it. Since they were parked for the summer, we built wooden steps of normal size for them to use and by end of summer, they were having problems with those. Bad knees and hips.
Saw some folks at a campground with an aluminum ramp at the door of their Airstream TT.
Thought it was for the campers - but it was actually for their old German Sheppard (hip dysplasia?).
I guess they used it also, as I never saw it removed.
Appeared to be about 6' long.
The AS TT was pretty low to the ground, so the angle (incline) of the ramp was pretty gradual.

With a bit of ingenuity a *Toy Hauler* rear ramp could have a "man door" added (or *in place of* the big door) - with a ramp to walk up or use a wheel chair.
Slide the ramp inside for travel.
The ramp could be as long as the owner desired - plus the TH would still have the normal entry/exit door (with steps).
BTW - lots of folks use the toy hauler space for things other than the various "toys" it was originally intended for.
Everything from bunk rooms, sewing, office, workout space, etc.
And, of course - Toy Haulers avail in both TT & 5th wheel designs.
