Moving your RV, boat trailer, or cargo trailer can be an arduous task. Manual trailer movers and dollies require you to bend over and move the trailer either by hand or by turning a manual hand crank. Electric trailer movers remove the physical exertion, but they still require you to manually steer your trailer with a handle, which requires strength and usually requires a second person to be a spotter.
The remote-controlled RVR robot removes those hassles and frustrations. With the RVR3, you can move your trailer with the push of a button. No physical exertion is required. Thanks to the wireless, handheld remote controller, moving your trailer is now a 1-person job. The remote control's 40-foot range lets you freely walk around your trailer while relocating it, ensuring that you have the best viewing angle as you go around corners and maneuver your trailer into tight spaces.
Operation with the Wireless Remote Controller
The RVR's wireless remote controller has a simple layout featuring forward/back and right/left buttons. Once the RVR is connected to your trailer with the included mounting bracket, hold down the "up" arrow button to move forward, and hold down the "down" arrow to move backward. To turn the RVR, hold down the "up" or "down" button while also pressing either the "left" or "right" arrow button, depending on the direction you want to move your trailer.
The RVR can be used to move your trailer up slopes or inclines of no more than 5 degrees. When using the RVR robot to move your trailer up an incline, the RVR must push the trailer up the slope. When going down an incline, the RVR must lead, or pull, the trailer down the slope.
With a full charge, the RVR has a runtime of approximately 30 minutes, which allows for plenty of time to relocate your trailer. The remote control includes a battery indicator that will let you know when the RVR's battery is running low and needs to be recharged. To conserve the battery, the unit automatically shuts itself off after being idle for 3 minutes. The charger is included and connects to standard 2-prong outlets. The unit takes 5 to 6 hours to fully recharge.
360 Degrees of Motion
The RVR3 is built with 2 planetary gear motors that can move a single-axle trailer. The independently operated motors allow for 360 degrees of motion, providing you with complete control and maneuverability when moving your trailer.
Heavy-Duty Rubber Treads
The heavy-duty caterpillar treads allow the RVR to handle a variety of terrain, including asphalt, gravel, grass, and dirt. The 2" wide rubber treads enable the RVR to move easily from one type of surface to another.
Hooking Your Trailer up to RVR
The RVR3 easily attaches to your trailer's frame with the included mounting bracket. For best results, mount the RVR as far back on the trailer frame as possible. Once the mounting bracket is securely attached to the frame with the included bolts, just slide it into the mounting bracket tower on the RVR unit. Then secure it in place with the included cotter ring.
You can also hook up your trailer to the RVR with the included base tower and interchangeable 2" and 2-5/16" hitch balls. Just connect your coupler to the RVR's hitch ball, and then use the included spanner wrench to tighten the locking nut and secure it against the coupler. This will ensure that the ball doesn't slip out of the coupler during operation. Then you're ready to go.

*****Love the product. *****Love the idea.
My application is slightly up hill (it does have the power for that) but it includes a slight turn, off of the alley behind my house, to clear my house, and the surface is large (2" to 3" gravel), so the combination of all of those factors made it almost impossible to make the turn. I managed to flip the Trailer Valet over and cause the trailer tongue to get into a "crushing" position - however, the Trailer Valet is so robust-built that it withstood the crushing blow, and is still useable, with no dents. I got spooked, so the trailer temporarily sits in its other lot. I'm puzzling about how to make it work. The Trailer Valet IS a great product, it is my fault that I didn't take into consideration, other factors. I am keeping it, to utilize it in situations where I am at a flat race track parking lot. It WILL serve its purpose.

This is an awesome robot. It pulled my 1,500 pound motor boat without breaking a sweat. The only hitch was that the driveway was soft in some spots, so we had to help the robot out by pushing the boat, until harder ground was found. Worth every penny and we highly recommend.

The dolly is exactly as described. Arrived quickly and was well packed.

Nice little device. Use it on our 13" Scamp travel trailer. Allows us to move it easily in relatively level campsites, which is getting difficult for us with advancing age.

view full answer... - Will The Trailer Valet RVR Work With a Tandem Axle Pontoon Boat Trailer?When using the Trailer Valet with a tandem axle trailer it is recommended to use the Trailer Valet Trailer Wheel Dollies # TV56FR under the rear wheels. The dollies will provide you with much better turning radius, as the tires will try and bind up when taking sharp turns otherwise. I see you were looking at the RVR3 # TVRVR3-BB225 which is only rated for a trailer up to 3,500lbs with 165-350lbs of tongue weight.

Replacements are also something that you would need to contact Trailer Valet directly for. However, the charging port is easily accessed from the rear (or front depending on how you are...

view full answer... - Which Trailer Valet RVR3 to Use with 2022 Lance 1475S for Easier ReversingSince the ball mount version of the Trailer Valet RVR3 part # TVRVR3-BB225 attaches to the center of the trailer it's going to be easier to move the trailer in reverse since the frame mounts will be off to one side a little bit which will make it hard to predict when reversing.

view full answer... - Can Trailer Valet TVRVR3-BB225 Trailer Dolly Pull Boat Up Boat Ramp and 200 Yards to Parking SpotOn solid pavement, the Trailer Valet can handle a slope up to 5 degrees, but when going up a grade, the # TVRVR3-BB225 can only be used to push a trailer, not pull it so it wouldn't be suitable for pulling a boat out of the water up a boat ramp. When the battery is fully charged, it has a run time up to about 30 minutes. Pulling the trailer 200 yards would take about 25 or so minutes given the 23 feet per minute max speed of the unit so using it for that purpose would nearly exhaust the...
view full answer... - How Much Water Can the Trailer Valet Handle?I spoke with Trailer Valet about the water resistance of the RVR3 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly w/ Hitch Ball Mount # TVRVR3-BB225 and they said it can get wet, but is definitely not waterproof. They mentioned that it can rust over time from this so if it does end up going through a puddle, or getting rained on while using, to thoroughly clean it and make sure it gets good and dried out before storing.
