Ramp Storage
I am in the process of cleaning up/reorganizing the 5er and trying to make it easier to setup. Currently I keep the leveling ramps (6' 2x6) in the forward compartment. However all the chairs and other outdoor stuff gets thrown in there as well making it difficult to get the ramps out and put them away without emptying the compartment. That being said where do you guys keep your ramps? Custom storage on the bumper? Different Ramp/leveling solution?
Regards,
Bud are these the blocks you are referring to?

Also, they make these nice chocks that fit into the blocks.

We have 3 bags of blocks and 2 chocks for our setup and have done very well with them.
I have a honey pot "Barker tote" under the front... and spare tire under the rear.
just make sure they do NOT hang down to far.. or you will rip them off.
out of the way, NOT seen, fairly easy to get to.
Chuck, any pictures of the Barker Tote being stored? We are just about to purchase our 1st 5th wheel and will be losing the storage space in the bed of the truck that we have had with our travel trailer. Looking for options to carry our "poop trolley" around.

short diff. a metal shelving unit. the cheap type. overlap the L so twice as thick. making 2 horizontal arms.. using the metal shelves.. as a floor.
using light welded chain... one end bolted to frame... other end chain and carabineers with Eye bolts to frame.
all of this is just nuts and bolts.. no welding.
undo carabineers and lower to ground.. Tote rolls down and out..
will try for photo's tomorrow.
I have this mounted just a few inches in front of front trailer tires. I have a Barker 32 gallon with 4 air up tires.

barker holder 3 by Chuck_Honda, on Flickryes it will get painted soon,
except for some hardware.. all is used/old...
I have traveled with this over 1000 miles over several trips this summer. not one issue.
the wheels roll right over the humps. the chain at the steering wheels is to keep it from moving.. handle is stored in rear compartment.
I used some old motorcycle drive chain.. you can use welded chain from home depot... as I did for the front holders.
AND YES, my back yard is always muddy... that is why the trailer is parked on 2x12 by 10 foot. with 3/8 all thread every 2 feet..
to install gravel its over 500 dollars. not in the budget. YET.
the little town I live in.. NOT allowed to park trailer in driveway for more than 24 hours.. but its OK to park it in back yard as long as you like.
Mount Installed by Chuck_Honda, on Flickrspare tire holder,,, and rear bumper stabilizer for bike rack. it pivots at front mounts.
flaming will cause all photos to be deleted.. like on another forum.
None, gas stations, driveways. Restaurants, as I go to Cracker Barrel for quick overnights. on longer trips.
I can have the nose of the trailer on the blacktop and no contact of the trolley platform.
my trailer is called a 29 foot.. but nose to bumper is 33 feet.
may not be easy to see in photo. but the platform is above the axles, by more than a few inches.
