eagle1, I too am in the market for a trailer and have debated the front ramp location. What I've decided is that the time it would matter the most is when I would be parking along a road side. Meaning, if the door was roadside then I can just park and not have to jacknife the trailer and block the roadway if it was on the curbside. I would still have the sidedoor on the curbside for safety reasons in case I needed to check the load or etc on a busy roadway.
I am looking at the same trailers as yourself including the Classics. I've looked at the Legends at a local dealer I was not to impressed. Seemed a little odd to be able to see light out the back ramp when it was closed!? It just didn't feel like a solid trailer either. Have you looked at any others? If so, what did you think?
