Toy Haulers with lowest ground clearance

As a wheelchair user I am interested in finding Toy Haulers with a lower ground clearance so that the ramp is not so steep. Where can I find this type of spec?
  • The Work and Play and trailers made by horse trailer manufactures are much lower to the ground than traditional haulers. The downside is that the living quarters are more spartan. The bed is more like a truck camper.
  • That's going to be a tough one to figure out.

    Ours has very low ground clearance because of the way the plumbing hangs and the low height of our 6-point levelers. But the floor itself is very high. It's four steps up to the door and the ramp is pretty steep unless the ground is un-level.

    I don't know of a good way to check this in the specs, but I know that our current ramp is shorter than our old Weekend Warrior ramp, so it's much steeper.

    A full beaver-tail and longer ramp will help a lot with this. That's what I'd look for in the product photos.

    I hope this is helpful. Good luck shopping.
  • If I read your post correctly, you want to be able to go up the ramp with your wheelchair.
    One possible alternative would be to have a pair of cable extensions made so the ramp goes about halfway between level and contacting the ground. Then add a pair of ATV ramps (like for loading an ATV into a pickup bed) to the end of the toy hauler ramp. This would make the slope very gentle but LONG. This could be a problem in RV parks where you would be backed up to a wall or another RV.
  • I ran a search in the archives, for the keyword, "wheelchair" these resultsmight help you.
  • Have to find one built on a low pro cargo trailer style trailer. Like work n play or ?

      Nvm. Sorry, I replied to an old dead thread from a 1 and doneā€¦.my bad. 

  • InTech Flyer. By far not the flashiest models on the road but they appear to be pretty solid from the ones I've looked at.
