Loading/Unloading ramp suggestions

My hubby and I are customizing a 2008 Chevy Express cargo van to be my Lab Limo. I am looking for sugguestions for a good load/unload ramp to use for the dogs that will be using the rear crates. I have looked online and my head is a whirlwind trying to figure out which one I should get. Thanks in advance for any suggestions and experiences with what or what not to get.

Woo hoo, Winnebago here I come!!!

Better than a ramp, and easier.

This one is good too. It needs to be removed for travel though. It just slides in and out of the hitch receptacle.

The `problem with these ramps is that they are large and cumbersome and a bit heavy. You have to take them in and out, and store them in your van. Some have to be folded. The Twistep is always attached to the hitch, and swings out of the way. It is always available, and does not need to be stored. It is easy for humans to use too. I use a locking hitch pin on mine so that no one can steal it.
