another? both the op and yours say 'rampfree.com' on the frame of the trailer. seems like the same one to me. like I said earlier, would be a shame if they have gone out of business.

For the price of these dedicated trailers why not get a nice open utility trailer and put wheel chocks on it when needed. I am considering getting a nice aluminum trailer for around house and bike.

The manufacturer sold the business and I doubt that any businessman would give away blueprints to his products. According to the seller, someone else will be taking over and starting production. I paid $2,300 for it..

This is a great idea; however, one concern for me would be how the trailer remains in the towing position. Is the bed of the trailer held up only by the winch strap or are there pins/bolts to secure it to the trailer frame?
If there isn't, I think I would be looking at making that modification for security and safety.

Pin bolts secure the trailer once is winched up into position. Also, you don't want to use the winch to secure the bike, its unsafe and not a practical idea. You have 2 pinch bolts on the trailer which hold the flat bed into position... Check out the desing and google it www.rampfree.com

Baxley Trailers has been making a similar design for years. They were also one of the first with a locking motorcycle wheel chock.

I have the Baxley SBX09 foldup trailer. It has the additional advantage that it has a fairly small footprint when folded, so it doesn't take up much of my garage floor space. Expensive and worth every penny:

Also you don't have to unhitch the trailer to load or unload.

I called 2 weeks ago, so far I never received a call back.. The only way I got this trailer is because through some research I contacted the individual maker/manufacturer, called him directly and made the proper inquiries... He had one last unit so I immediately jumped on it...
