Enclosed car hauler w/ramps

[white-rhino]

He has an aversion to a ramp door, you ever have any issues with it ?
I have two trailers with them and can't see them lasting long with a 5K rig going in and out.

My gooseneck sees a lot of use loading either my buggy (5k) or JK (4k) or both probably 4 - 6 times a month from April thru August to and from our local ORV park. 3 years in with this trailer and no issues with the rear single ramp door. When doing cross country trips, the trailer gets used as a garage for 2 rigs so it gets loaded / unloaded daily.

Well I guess if he uses the rear steer he might need 4 but I'd imagine for normal people it'd only be 2, ramps.

This is a far cry from sandy, just can't imagine how someone doesn't understand the difference between ramps or ramp.

I'm guessing because no one seems to have ever seen an enclosed with ramps. Plural. Just a single ramp door. Pics?

Working on it, I've seen them but never thought to take a picture.

Then you also must have seen how high they are off the ground vs a "normal" enclosed trailer.

pay attention when he drops the doors and dont let it get twisted and i dont see a problem with it. I carry short pieces of boards to support the corners to make sure the tailgate doesnt go down and twist.

The smoothbrain OP doesn't know how to articulate his thoughts. Barn door enclosed car haulers exist, but they're usually not large. All large enclosed trailers i've ever seen have a ramp door, because smart people don't want to fuck with separate ramps.

Example:

South Georgia Cargo 8.5×16 TA Trailer – White, Barn Doors, Side Door – Snapper Trailers

My enclosed has a ramp door, but with the lift, it's too steep to get cars in and out. I used these ramps to extend it, which has worked well for me. You could easily just use these ramps from the ground to the back of a barn door trailer. They make different lengths:

My ramp door is super twisted because it's not built to handle the weight I put on it, but you get the idea:

How much does OP's brother want to spend on a trailer? I've been thinking about replacing my 2021 28' Continental Cargo extra height fully loaded bumper pull trailer with a 34' version.

I have and so has he. Its just a preference more than anything.

We both have trailers like that now, I get it. Its just not what he wants.

Shoot me a pm with a few pics and numbers. Seriously. He's picking up a new buggy from Wide Open Designs in January.

You keep trying to insult me, have I had sex with one of your family members ? Just wondering why you're so angry.

Yeh, we talked about doing that. I do that pretty ofter on one of my trailers but were just loading 55 gal. drums, with solid ramps

Which is the shitty thing about barn doors: no nice and wide and smooth ramp to drive tool boxes, carts, dollies, etc. over. They also have another seam that will leak. You also need ramps. You'll also either have to climb up, or enter through the side door. You will also find your resale market has shrunk to 1/50th of the enclosed market because no one fucking wants barn doors on an enclosed.

If he's afraid of damaging the door, make the same ramps you would've needed for the barn door trailer longer than the ramp and put them under the rig when not in use. Or embed them into the interior of the door and use large blocks at the end to ensure they bear the weight, or reinforce it with a truss like shown previously, or put 4 of these on to support the middle and ends of the door, or a gazillion of other options that help the door last.
