Drop down ramp

I have a 14' CT with the swing out rear doors.
Has anyone ever made up a ramp that can be used and then stowed inside after the doors are shut?

Suppose a person could buy or make some ramps then hang them on the inside of the Barn Doors.
I used to use these http://www.realtruck.com/keeper-loading ... Mgod0hcA-Q
with a 2X6 and put some roofing shingles on the top for traction.

These ramp styles are what I was going to consider if I ever wanted to put a bike in my barn door trailer.

What do you need the ramp for? Purpose may dictate form.

We have a custom built flat bed trailer that has two pull-out ramps mounted underneath the back. Would something like that work?

Dang, never even gave those kind a thought.
All I wanted to do was basically swing open the doors, and have a ramp of sorts to walk in and out of the trailer.
I haul racing karts and as I said the ramp would be more for going in and out of the trailer. Possibly using them once and awhile to load my bike or roll things in and out.
More for just entering and exiting at the races.
Thanks for all the suggestions, I will look into the ramps shown in the other responses.
