Recommended Trailer Dolly for Positioning Trailer in Garage
Question:
My husbsnd and I are pushing 70. We have a tiny InTech Flyer Pursue camping trailer that weighs about 1300 lbs witl s tongue weight around 300 lbs. We are looking for a trailer dolly to help us maneuver the camper into our garage. We have a tow tuff dolly with no flat tires, and tires ard deflated after using 3 times, making it very hard to move. Do you have an easy to use dolly that is reliable?

Expert Reply:
For the least amount of effort when moving your smaller InTech Flyer Pursue camping trailer around I suggest the Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover # STC-V211 that bolts on to the trailer A-frame. This dolly features 2-speed hand crank operation or you can use the drill attachment # TVDA which lets you power the dolly using a cordless drill. This means all you need to do is steer it as the drill powers the wheels.
The other primary method for making trailer maneuvering easier is to install a front-mount hitch on the vehicle and to simply use a ball mount and hitch ball to steer the trailer. This can often cost less than a high-quality dolly like the Valet 5X; if this interests you please advise vehicle information and I will check for a front hitch for your vehicle.
