Folding step & hitch

For occasional trailering I decided to have the hitch flow down and include a step that folds also. A few 5/8 bolts remove to fold as well as two diagonal braces. A spring holds the folding step up for backing up against loading docks.

The aluminum ramp for camper access is 10' long and slides on a piece of treated plywood on the frame rails. A turnbuckle and heavy spring keeps it pulled tightly into a storage pocket at the front.
