LOL, I guess I didn't make myself clear. I'm not concerned about backing up a trailer. I have regularly backed up trailers (at least 2 or 3 times a week while I was an ironworker), everything from 10 foot single axle to 30 foot goosenecks and VERY many times into tight spots around blind corners. I personally have a 10 foot single axle and a 20 foot tandem axle for my tractor. My PWC trailer is 17 feet and double wide (side by side PWCs). Additionally, I've had boats of and on for the last 30 years or so, boatramps are not a new experience to me either. I'm concerned with the stepness of most boatramps and the fact that the only thing holding the camper in is the torklift and fastguns. This is the same concern I have about being towed especially on a tilt deck like the one pictured above. I'm just not sure about how secure the camper is when the truck is tilted that much.
Your camper is not going to slide out. If you have a rubber mat and good tiedowns no sweat. Don't let that stress you out. About the only way to loss it on a ramp would be too have no rubber mat and no tie downs and to back down the ramp at about 50 MPH and slam on the brakes and come to a screeching halt. :B
There are guy and gals with TC launching and have not lost a camper or at least one I have heard of.
