Thanks!

Can you imagine where the CoG would be!!! Don't go around any corners.

I use it all the time for my atv and it's no worse than ramps into the bed of the truck So I'm comfortable with the ride up. was just hoping someone has done it before to save me a wasted attempt if it won't even make the climb. Will definitely post pics if it works out though

It's definitely something to get used to but I've had my atv (about 750lbs) on top while hauling my 34' camper with no issues

I am obviously misunderstanding something. How can ramps to the cover of the bed be the same angle or less than the ramps to the bed itself?

Also the Centre-of-Gravity I was talking about was to the unit of the truck with the cart on the top of the cover. The weight of the batteries in the cart (not to mention the rest of the weight of the cart) is sitting about 3 ft above the truck suspension (almost in-line with the top of the cabin).

I'll be interested to see the photos if you decide to do it. Good luck.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't see your previous post about getting used to it before I posted this.

The angle is about the same due to the length of the ramps and them being arched. They are 12.5 ft long vs. 6-8 ft on most other ramps
