Will have to look into these Rhino ramps, just not sure about plastic ramps though.

Use them all the time, even on the discovery’s!!

They are a bit dearer than steel ramps, surprisingly.

Looks like they have to be on a completely flat surface.

So, having looked at a lot of reviews on the plastic ramps i don't think they're for me.

1) They are mostly lower than the steel ramps.

2) As mentioned they need to be on a very flat surface.

3) They can crack and can't be used if that happens.

4) They slide more.

5) It seems lots of people have driven off the back of them (the thing i worry about

)

There are a lot more things said about them, some good things but not many so it just put me off them.

Wide steel ramps are available too now apparently so next month i will get some when i can.
