Be careful with shiney ramps and floors. Our bike's tires were damp recently while loading, the back wheel spun, the rear of the bike instantly slid left and wedged itself into the corner of the trailer. Not only did I have trailer and bike damage, getting the Ultra off of the wall and slid back over to the center of the floor by myself was a real problem. I had to hold the bike up by one hand while hooking a ratchet strap to the rear wheel to winch the bike back to center again. I have a star plate floor, will be adding some gripping material to the ramp and floor soon. Glad I was sober that night.

I hear ya...the first pic in mine with the shiny black paint was right after I painted and before I scuffed it up to remove the gloss. the 2nd pic with the carpet on the walls is as it actually is...my wife wanted "shiny" since we camp in it...I said no way! It's not slippery at all and I've loaded/unloaded the bikes about 15-20 times in it so far and not one slipping issue (and I load/unload by myself).

Mines a 7x12 Horton Hauler with an extra 3 foot v-nose and the motorcycle package that has the trailer sitting lower and the rear inside slopes down so its easier to load lower bikes.
Nice setup except I would worry about stuff on the pegboard coming off and damaging front of bike. Just a thought.
