Class A loading conveyor

Anyone come up with a simple conveyor system to aid in loading and unloading a Class A coach?

We're about to pick up our new Class A coach and are curious to know if anyone has come up with a way of transporting totes of food, clothing, pots-pans, etc. into the coach without having to wrestle with them in the entry door and fall over the passenger seat. (Ok. So, I am getting old and out of shape and that coach looks awful tall.)

Anyone know of a vendor that addresses this topic?

thanks,
Rick

I have an idea - we build the door to not only function as a door, but to unhinge and swivel down to become a conveyor. A handle pops out and we rotate the conveyor belt by hand (like that conveyor belt you add to the bed of your pickup to unload rocks, etc.).

Part of the conveyor belt is clear that you would position in front of the window when light is needed, or solid if you want to close out the light.

If we actually used the screen door for this function, the conveyor belt could be the integrated screen.

I did sleep in a Holiday Inn Express once! ๐Ÿ™‚

Wow do people really bring pots and pans? My rig stays loaded and fridge on all the time with the exception of food and some clothes, but then i do use it a lot. For the price of something to load it with just buy another pile of stuff to leave in there all the time...

Roll out... Like the products at this link?
that was what my mind was thinking. But wrote it as a pun on someone selling a new RV accessory item. There are so many already, that we could well do without.


or go to a farm auction and get a bale conveyor. could take stuff directly from house, thru window, into RV.

One of the things I agreed to, when I was persuading my wife that a MH would be fun, was that she could outfit it with new dishes, cookware, etc. Relatively small cost compared to owning a MH. We just have to get our clothes and food in when we get ready to travel.

We use the re-usable shopping bags bought at grocery stores or Walmart. As others have said, one person in the coach unloading while the other person is bringing bags to it. I usually fill water at the same time.
