Trailer dolly - what specs should I look for?

Question:

I see dollies rated in terms of weight. Is that to weight of the total trailer or the weight of the tongue? I have a 3500 lb pop up camper and it has a 300 lb tongue weight. We want to move it from the driveway into a side loading garage. We need to turn it and keep it from rolling away on a very slight grade. Drive is paved, but as expected, there is a slight bump to enter the garage floor. THANKS

Our most popular trailer dolly is the Trailer Valet 5X # STC-V211. It's capacity is 500 pounds which needs to be more than the tongue weight of your trailer.

It has a hand crank that makes it easier to move around. Plus, you can add the optional drill attachment to power the drive with your cordless drill.

I've linked videos of the X5 and the drill attachment for you.
