Loading RV issues

I’m taking wife back to Stugis, she’s not interested in sleeping in a tent again. I’m having issues loading my 2020 Electra Glide Ultra Limited into my Fleetwood work and play. When I go up the ramp I get hung up as my engine crossed the entry. I didn’t have that problem with my 2010 Electra Glide Ultra Classic. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Maybe a smaller flip over ramp at the end? You can then put blocks under it and have two little ramp ascensions then. You either have to change the angle of the ramp or raise the bike as it goes up.

Whit the hitch attached to your tow vehicle, use the trailer tongue jack and raise the the front of the trailer. This will lower the back and decrease the angle.

Drive tow vehicle rear wheels onto a set of ramps while hooked up to trailer. trailer ramp angle will change enough to allow entry with bike.

Hopefully he will get to keep the motorcycle in the divorce, if he follows your advice. I’m jealous of anyone with a nice toy hauler. He should be able to ask advice without the “ride your bike like me” dick swinging.

I’m looking at buying a trailer so I can escape the frozen tundra when I want next year. It won’t decrease my riding. It will increase it, because now it’s just in the garage in the Winter.

If it's attached to his truck the trailer jack will then be lifting the truck too! Kinda hard on a trailer jack.

When I pull into my bike barn (with a dock plate ramp,) I take my weight off the seat and duck walk the bike as the frame clears the hump. That buys me an additional 1" or so of clearance, if that same scenario works for you?)
