question on Kelvin's wood ramps

[Totality]

Whats the process for getting up on these ramps?
Just pump the coach up as high as it will go......slide them in from the sides under the coach then drive forward up onto them?

I assume the limited height to slip them in is the limiting factor in how high they can be.....

Can one still put a block under between the rear wheels to stop the coach dropping as much in the event of a bag bursting.

got some things I need to do to things under there and its time i bit the bullet and made a set.

These ramps are great.

I either drive forward onto them (for raising the front) or back onto them (for raising the rear). I'm not sure I could get the GMC high enough to use them in front of the rear tires (if that's what you were asking). But YMMV?

When I'm working underneath - I use several axle stands to avoid the widow-maker scenario of a bag bursting or torsion bar failing.

They are also perfect for my lowered cars...

I built a set and love them. Used them on the minivan and every other car.

for the Coach, I normally raise the rear a bit, and then back up the ramps. (so when your done you can drive forward off the ramps) There is plenty
of length there and the top piece of 2 x 4 acting as a bump stop helps. Then engage parking brake, then chock the front wheels. Also helps if your
on level ground.

Having the extra space to work under there is very nice. Wish I built the ramps before I did the mufflers and black tank. Would have saved me a ton
of time.
