Re: Load motorcycle into the Astro van

Another way to prevent the ass end of the trailer from tilting down from the loaded-on weight going up the ramp is to block it up at the rear just where the gate/ramp attaches. If the trailer is not attached to the tow vehicle or if there's no one to sit on the tongue, this works too. The best way is to attach the tongue to the car, and usually this is pretty easy, as you can (if it's not a gigantic heavy trailer) just pick up the tongue and walk it over to the hitch ball and drop it on and hook it up. AC's toy hauler is obviously too big top do this with, but for a 5x10 or 6x12 trailer, it's no problem.
