Hello all from SE Michigan.

Interested in a Valor 36v11. Looked at one yesterday and have concerns about the ramp door flexing near the camper body. Stepping onto the ramp from the garage would cause ~ ¼" movement of the ramp floor relative to the ramp frame. Concerned that I will be driving a 1000# Gold Wing on the ramp. Anyone else experienced this issue? I have one more request -- I would like to get a measurement from the centerline of the Valor rear axle to the kingpin. I am trying to get a comparison of the wheel placement behind the truck with my current travel trailer. Thank you all in advance and glad to join this forum.

Hello @JPD .. Our ramp when open flexes at the top a little bit. But it will only flex so far. Take a look at the pic I attached. You can see the black scuff marks on the aluminum above the license plate. It will flex down to the point that the ramp will hit the black bumper below to support it. Hope that helps? I don't have the model of Valor that you are looking at so I can't help with the measurements you are looking for.

Thanks for your response. I didn't step on the door frame, so that may flex with the flooring. So it has not caused you any problems when loading?

I haven't had any issues. I have loaded and unloaded a Harley Sportglide and a Harley Sportster numerous times. I have however drug the bottom of the Sportster a couple of times when the ramp door is pretty steep on the angled transition.
