If you have to use them do you:

a. drive on to them
b. reverse on to them

Same as you Scally
IF it rained and the ground got a bit soggy I find it easier to put the anti slip mats ((Cut off of old bread basket ) in front and drive off just my way

not long enough
Do I presume when you reverse on you mean on to your rear axle not front? I would not fancy a quick getaway that involved driving the rear wheels over my ramps!! I always try to adjust the front as we have a twin rear axle and I am not sure whether to raise just one of the wheels or try to put the ramp under both (we have four wheels on single rear axle, not tandem). I would chose to drive forwards on but could reverse front axle on as we have plenty of clearance

I also don't get this quick exit business, I rank it in with gassing (urban myth) IMHO, do you disconnect the electrics as well before you go to bed and I have to presume you don't use an external windscreen cover :Eeek:

Well! being a Cornish/Kiwi and #1 All Black Supporter, I lift the front by the Bumper and Mrs R slips the Ramps in under, sometimes she even uses one of her loaves of bread she bakes, sometimes her handbag, horses for courses!:thumb:

if you mean this...((Cut off of old bread basket ) then i dont see a problem posting it.

i acquired four trays from a school kitchen i was working at (with permission) and by the time i cut off all four sides there was no identification as to the bakery left.

no name...no claim.

skip

I found the bread tray in a skip so I think I am re-cycling not nicking.
I don't really care which way you do it I just thought I'd put it on and see how the thread progressed.
On an Aire/wild camping I rarely use ramps, always leave the windscreen clear and have the keys handy Just in case.
