I sold my van 6 weeks ago (hitting the $80 mark to fill it up with gas for the weekend's gigs put the nail in the coffin) though I still have the ramp.
Takers? :-)

I built a ramp for my van for my Hammond. cost me less than $40 in lumber,
after built, comes apart in 3 pieces, takes 90seconds to "build" and worked
great.
Needed: a pair of 4x8s, a pair of 2x4s, and a 3/4" piece of plywood, and 8
3/4" or larger bolts.
Nail a 2x4 to the wide side of the 4x8 (this is your "guardrail"), and
repeat with other 4x8.
Place the plywood between the guardrails, and drill holes large enough to
drop a bolt into; 3 on each side. You'll be dropping a bolt in that hole
(through the plywood and through the guardrail floor) to secure the plywood
"floor" of your ramp. Once the bolts are dropped through the holes of the
plywood and guardrails, you'll have no movement or slippage.
One hole on each guardrail itself, at the top, and a corresponding hole in
the bumper of your van will secure the ramp assembly as you roll your gear
up and down.
When done moving gear, pull the bolts, and stash your two guardrails and
floor against the side of your van. VOILA!

That would be my first choice, but then I'd have to park the trailer
in a crowded parking lot at a gig rollout and back in, and do the same
when I got home - congested parking here - otherwise one of these
would be ideal to load and go. I'm thinking a van with a ramp. Wj
