Loading Spyder into Toy Hauler

Where did you hook the winch?

As Steve W. mentioned, this is an old thread, but reading the post with the winch I believe he hooked to to the floor attachment points using a chain between to of them and attaching the winch to the chain between the floor hooks in line with where he wants to pull the Spyder to. He put the winch on a thick foam pad so as not to scratch the floor.


On our Winnebago Spyder 28KS the ramp is short and the rig is tall, and that makes for a steep ramp. The nose hits the ramp before the wheels touch it, and if I do get it up the ramp it high centers under the trike at the point the ramp meets the trailer. I lift the bottom the ramp with jacks and use a series of ramp I had at home. The ramps go into the back of the truck, and live under the trailer when we set up.

Here is an easy solution instead of ramps “if it is close.” With the trailer/ toyhauler attached to the truck simply take 3 or 4 (2x8’s) and nail them together to make a mini platform. I cut 45 degrees on one end. Put then in front of your “back tire” on the “truck.” Put the truck in 4x4 and drive onto the mini platform. Now the back of the truck is about 6 inches taller which lowers the back of the toyhauler. My 2 toy-haulers and snowmobile trailer don’t really need an additional ramp but at campground occasionally it not level and the back of the trailer is to high/ to steep of ramp. It works perfect rather than disconnecting the trailer and raising the tongue.
