to those who have a low hauler
just picked up an 05 haulmark low hauler 7x12. really looking forward to getting my wife away from the busy roads where i live a getting more into the sticks so she will get very comfortable riding. this will be a great tool for us.
i love everything abouth this trailer except the swale near the ramp door when open. i understand why it needs to be there, but wonder if any of you have gotten creative about filling the hole to make it easier to load and unload the bikes. i was thinking about getting some diamond plate and either hinging it to the ramp door somehow or just affix it to one of the sides so when the door is down, i can just put it over the swale and have a straight/level shot out.
what are your experiences or what have you done.
thx - tin

Low Hauler
I sold mine in 08 when I bought my SG. I can tell you I completely re-did the whole interior. Checker board floor, diamond plate where the bike rolled in (single bike only), diamond plate storage boxes up front and a spare tire carrier up front with a diamond plate box to cover it. I never had an issue loading or unloading the bike or bikes because of the "swail" you're talking about. I had mine set up for 1 or 2 bikes. It was a 6x12. I used a Condor chock for the 1 bike set up and 2 removable Pingles for the 2 bike setup. The Condor chock let me drive right into and get off the bike without any assistance so the swail was never an issue I guess because I drove right over it. The Condor chock was the best money spent in that trailer. I don't know what you're using for a chock but the Condor with let you ride right into it. I know I haven't given you a solution but maybe the chock issue helps in the long run. I have to admit I miss not having a trailer. Oh well win some, loose some. The picture with the chock in it was right before i bought the Condor...I hope this helps some how.

I have a 28 ft KZ toy hauler and pretty much the same set up , you can also jack up the front of the trailer to take the hump out if you have much will keep the bike from hitting on the bottom

Thanks for the compliments. I re did the interior myself. All the diamond plate stuff I fabricated. I made the spare tire mounting bracket and then fabricated the the box to fit it. Same with the cabinets. They had shelves in them and hinged down. When I paneled the interior over the original plywood I boxed out the front (Haulmark had that rounded nose) and made a header there to accomadate the boxes. Wish I still had it!!
