Motorized Trailer dolly

Hello,

Today I purchased an R-pod 180. Very excited to pick up next week however worried about backing.

Has any had experience with the product Trailer Valet?

https://www.trailervalet.com/

It is much less expensive that Parkit360.

many thanks!

Bill

Are you only going to move it on level ground? If so, with such a light tongue weight, maybe a manual dolly such as 600 lb. Heavy Duty Trailer Dolly would suit?

I would practice backing up. You almost guaranteed to be in a situation when towing where backing up to get out of something is necessary.

Wow appreciate the quick replies.

My drive does have a bit of a slope so don't think I could push the trailer up. And the location I would like to store it is a bit tight.

I like the idea of the two speeds and the option of attaching a drill to this unit.

another concern is the space available on the hitch of the small trailer. Since I don't have it yet I can not go and look!
