The Pfeiffer tube trailer that my
Mosquito came in had an excellent back door design.* The door was
hinged on the right side and, when swung open had brackets for
rigging tools, grease, rear jack crank, etc.* There was a ramp
hinged at the middle and bottom which folded up before closing the
door.* When swung up, the ramp secured the wingtips with padded
cuffs.* I thought it was a great design, much better than the home
built trailers, but you did have to bend over to get inside.

Also very good for tripping and shin banging if you are not used to it.
