You could make a slider underneath to store a ramp, kinda like they do on trucks; the ramp slides out and hangs on a lip, and then you lift it up and slide it back in. This is one situation where a lowered bus would make sense... (rise/run) The ambulances had special floor attachements for holding jump seats to the floor, and another slider system for handling stretchers. Thom -- > Variables won't; constants aren't.
