Ramp recommendations for large elderly dog

We are looking into getting a ramp for our Challenger to aid our 12 year old Weimaraner in getting into and out of the RV. We are leaving on a two week trip soon and he is having trouble with the stairs. We help, but it is apparent that he needs an easier way in and out and his 80lb butt is heavy! He will not stay in the RV if we step out, and will follow us right back in even if it happens multiple times in a short period of time. We have dubbed his exit from the RV a controlled crash. lol

Anyway, has anyone with a tall coach (22.5" wheels and 4+ steps) found a ramp that fits well and is easy to store in a basement? Thanks!!

Check out Discount ramps. They have a series of pet ramps.

With pass-through storage you can cut a piece of plywood to whatever width and length you need and staple indoor/outdoor carpet onto the surface for grip, storing it in the basement. Cheap and efficient.

The folks who sell the Cricket Golf carts offer a telescoping set of ramps: perhaps something can be done with them?
