Question:

What if I have a dove tail slant on the rear end of my trailer? It’s a 20 foot long car trailer if I count the dove tail portion. About 18’x6.5’ of flat surface for the cars and Utv etc… Seems like if the angle is sharp enough, the hinge area that hangs down might still work if the mounting plate is on the flat rear deck.

Hey, Mike. That's a really good question.

I'd like to get some pictures of your trailer so I can get a visual of what yours looks like in the back. If you could reply to the email with pictures I'll be able to go from there! I want to make sure that these etrailer RapidRamps # e37XV fit perfectly for you so getting those pictures will help a lot.
