Where to put the dog ramp?

Hey folks,

I have the dog ramp that Honda sells as part of the dog kit. When I travel with my four dogs + wife + kit, it becomes a challenge to store the ramp in the Element. When we are all in the car we put one of the rear seats up on the side, but keep it in the car.

Does anyone have tips or tricks for storing the ramp without impacting the passengers or the dogs too much?

I was wondering if someone tried to mount the ramp on the roof rack, but it would have to be secured real good; I don't like the idea of the ramp flying into a car behind me on the highway.

Any input/tips appreciated!

Why bother with the ramp? They're 50 lb dogs. Getting up into the Element shouldn't be much of a problem for them. Unless they're super old and can barely move in the first place. 200 lbs of dog is a lot.

Honestly, in your situation I wouldn't even bother with the ramp.
