Porklift
I know there is another Entegra owner with a pig, Our pig is pushing 30 Lbs. How do you get your pig in and out? Need advice on a pig ramp or installing a porklift to get our pig in and out without breaking our back every time.

They make aluminum dog ramps that should work. Saw one (TRNZD) at Paso Robles. You might send him a PM and ask about the what and where. Think it was good to about 60#s.

Check with BUS4US. I'm pretty sure that Stella has a ramp, but from the look of her picture 60# just wouldn't hack it.

You could get a portable ramp used for pick ups. The aluminum ones that fold up would be best. You'd have to put plywood on it and probably carpet or other covering to make it slip proof.

Diane & Stew,
You got that one right!  Stella is @225lbs and her ramp doesn't flex a bit. Also, the Mastiff's are creeping up to 200 pounds each and they walk on it periodically no problemo!
Incognito,
I have a back-up telescopic ramp still in the box, so if you reach out to me I can give you info on the manufacturer and cost. Best price and great quality. I did all the investigative/shopping work for you! Self-sticking anti-skid walkway on entire ramp which is great for rainy weather. Initially, Stella wanted nothing to do with the ramp at all and Lover said that Stella would never use it. I trained her in a few hours. Alot of treats and snacks and a lawn chair for me! What a food motivated animal.
If she wants to get in the bus at a campsite, she just goes up and nudges the ramp with her nose to let us know!
Ron.

This thread had me totally confused. 
At first I thought you were hauling motorcycles (hogs), then maybe obese canines. 
Finally it dawned on me that you travel with pigs!
What is this world coming to?!?
