Recommended Trailer Dolly For 5,700 LB North Trail Trailer
Question:
Will the Trailer Valet work with a North Trail 26LRSS? I just bought this trailer and am picking it up soon. The technician at the dealership says the Trailer Valet will not work because its only rated for up to 5,000 pounds. Is that correct?

Expert Reply:
The technician you spoke with at the dealership was correct. The Trailer Valet Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover, part # STC-V211 is rated for a maximum of 5,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 500 lbs.
From the research I did I found your trailer weighs about 5,700 lbs dry weight and has a gross weight capacity of 8,000 lbs. The # STC-V211 would not work for you but we may have a solution that will work.
Check out the XL Dolly, part # TVXL2. This has a 1000 lb tongue weight capacity and features a 2 inch hitch ball.
In my opinion, and given the weight you are talking about, I recommend using a hitch on the rear or front of your vehicle to move the trailer around. If you want to let me know the year, make, and model of your vehicle I can make some recommendations that will work for you.
