A few local boat Ramps are that steep.
I gotta know where these are....
Maybe we can all get together and watch people back their TTs into the lake...
This sounds like fun... I will bring a 100 QT cooler of beer to share with my RV net friends.:B
Renton Was, south end of lake Washington, shilshoal bay marina, Puget sound. Many folks with RVs tow and have boat trailers too! Its real nice to have a steep ramp, especially if your trailer has an extendable tongue, and a boat that needs to float off and on, because you can not use rollers and a winch.
Tow ratings do not just entail pulling RV trailers. Boats, equipment traikers, snow mobiles etc.
What or how you expect a tow rig to do, are your performance ratings or specs. If you don't have to dead start on steeper grades as I do, oh well. Different trailers require diffent power specs, even if the same weight. HP needs cab vary by 30% vs base setup ratings start at.
Ask folks that deliver trailers best mph. A non slide smooth walk 5w. Worst, aluminum sided TT. A heavier smooth sided TT same floor plan, nets better mph! Les HP needs
Garbage trucks spec sn 80%gradabiluty, that's 40degrees. Some 100%ir more is needed depending upon task.
My performance specs are harder to meet than Detroit engineer specs.
