Fargo: Interesting.
We were thinking about spring loading the ramp door and still may do something along that line but I think it will be a later addition as I don't want to get bogged down with that.
We are making aluminum receivers for the top of the ramp door which will function as both a standoff and a attachment point for our plug in jack system. As a standoff, it will raise the edge of the door about 6 inches off the ground, decreasing the ramp angle somewhat. We may add a little flip ramp to bridge this distance. When two of the camper jacks are inserted into the standoffs, it will allow the ramp door to be leveled and used as a porch or stable work area.
It should be a little bit more stable than a wire or chain holding the ramp door level and also you don't have the wire or chain in your way.
