And a small, but very helpful trick to do when riding the bike into the trailer or backing it down is to do the following: While keeping the trailer coupler attached to the tow vehicle, extend your tongue jack and lift the front of the trailer. Place a 2x4 or 4x4 under the foot of the tongue jack if you need more lift than what the tongue jack alone will provide. The amount of lift you can apply is up to you. You don't wan't to put too much strain on the coupler, but by the same token you can probably lift most tongues 6"-12" without putting too much strain on the coupler. If you have an electric tongue jack on your trailer, remember that if you extend it to, or past full extension on some jacks, you could break it (have a manual crank nearby just in case). A regular inspection of the coupler is always advisable. Lifting the front of the trailer will lessen the angle of the transition where the top of the ramp meets the deck of the trailer greatly reducing or eliminating the hump. Doing this makes it much safer, particularly when backing the bike out of the trailer and passing through the part of the decline where your feet are the furtherest from the ground. If you have a 30" inseam like me, you'll appreciate the couple of inches closer to the ground your feet will be by lifting the front of the trailer. If you are particularly vertically challenged, place two 2x12x6' (baseline dimensions, to be lengthened/shortened and/or height increased/decreased one way or the other depending upon the deck height of the trailer floor and length of the ramp) boards on either side of the bike so you can place your feet on them while rolling the bike up/down the ramp.
