2006 Winnebago 38J ground clearance

[dawa106]

I bought a 2006 Winnebago 38J and am concerned about the uphill ground clearance. The road past my property is a 4 lane county Hwy. There are a few feet of a somewhat flat driveway before a there is a 6º degree climb up about 6 feet to my parking area. My concern is that I am going to drag the back of the RV on the road when the rear wheels hit the lowest spot at the gutter before they start rolling up the driveway. I have 18" snowmobile trailer and it drags the tail a bit every time I take it in or out. I made a 1/4" Teflon skid plate to keep from grinding the aluminum frame away.

Right now I plan to have someone on the ground to spot me as I enter the driveway and stop me before any dragging on the road becomes a problem if there is too much angle. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Install a set of tail rollers. It happens...

Can you put some kind of cover over the gutter "dip"? Maybe even build a wooden ramp of sorts to soften the angle.

Any chance of high centering after the 6 foot slope? Any pictures?

I am going to check out a scrap metal place where they sometimes will resell metal plates for loading docks and perhaps find something made from aluminum there. Not betting the house on it though. LOL. I just remembered that years ago that I did once sort of fill in the gutter area with some big hardwood planks I found and that may make a little difference in the gutter dip, I hope. Thanks for jogging my old memory.

I would imagine that some substantial boards in the gutter might help a lot. Just to take that "dip" out of the equation.
