Move the ramp to the curb side wall to allow you load and unload without unhitching the trailer
yes, we talked about that and it would be a good idea, except our snowmobiles are 10 feet long (the pod as drawn is 8' inside wall to inside wall and 10'8" foward wall to rear door). The snowmobiles would thus not fit crossways and you would have to somehow maneuver them 90 degrees after driving them in from the side.
I have racked my poor brain trying to figure out a way to make the garage pod work better when towing the boat, but I think the solution is we unhitch the boat when we need to get our toys. It sucks though, because what if you just need to get one motorcycle out so you can scout a questionable road...have to unhitch the boat, fold down the ramp door and drive out.
Could do a side door and the rear ramp door....more doors, more $$$, more welding. Perhaps RV'ing full time it just won't be that big of an issue to spend 2 min unhitching the sailboat.
Nice project - Could you set up your hitch / boat trailer so you can jack knife the trailer to one side or the other out of the way and drop your ramp?
