Hey Vader,
Trailer looks real nice! I can't tell if you have a hinged door/ramp extension or not. Shoot me a picture of (1) the rear of the trailer & (2) the door laid down. If not, you can buy the door bumpers that are about 3" thick & add the extension with a full width piano hinge. The approach angle can also be helped by raising the tongue of the trailer with the tongue jack while it stays hooked onto the ball. Just jack it as high as you can without getting crazy & it will help quite a bit.

If your doors don't clear the bottom of the escape door, just build enough ramp to get the doors to clear, maybe just a 2x12 (or 2) screwed to the floor.

c ya,
