Expert Answers about Trailer Dolly


  • Trailer Valet Trailer Dolly Mover For a Lance 1965 Travel Trailer
  • The Trailer Valet MV PRO Trailer Dolly # TV96FR is their all new dolly and is listed under their Products/Trailer Movers. This is going to be overkill for your Lance 1685 since the dolly is rated for trailers up to 12,000lbs and your Lance is going to have a maximum GVWR closer to 6,300lbs. The Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly # TVXL25 will save you some money and is rated for trailer up to 10,000lbs which is more than enough for your Lance.

  • Can Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly Move 32' Long Camper
  • The Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly # TVXL25 can move a 32' camper as long as it does not exceed the capacity of the dolly. The max tongue weight is 1,000 lbs and gross trailer weight is 10,000 lbs so as long as you're under that it will work.

  • Can I Pull a Trailer w/ a 2" Coupler w/ the Flint Hill Goods Trailer Dolly?
  • Yes, it will! The Flint Hill Goods Trailer Dolly item # FHG24ZR will work just fine with your 2" coupler even though it has a 1-7/8" hitch ball. Due to how slow you would be moving and how light dollies are it's not important for the latch of the coupler to secure to it. You could swap out the hitch ball but you really don't need to.

  • How to Find the Year and Model of a Demco Tow Dolly
  • Great question, Mark! I reached out to my contact at Demco and he said that each dolly is shipped with a decal that gives the model number, date of manufacture, VIN Number, Weight Capacity, etc. The decal location can vary depending on the tow dolly model, but it is grey with black lettering. The decal is located on the dolly axle or on the top deck near the latch release of a Demco Kar Kaddy 460SS.

  • Trailer Dolly Recommendation for 1,000 lb Boat on Trailer
  • Before swapping out dollies you may want to try to see if putting more tongue weight on your trailer would give you better traction for your Trailer Valet 5X # STC-V211. Since it sounds like you have a bit of weight at the back of the boat it could be that there isn't much pressure on the tires which is why you're having trouble. The only other option, aside from using one of the Trailer Valet remote controls like part # TVRVR3, is to use the manual Trailer Dolly # FHG84ZR. This uses a...

  • Tongue Weight Capacity of Trailer Valet MV PRO Trailer Dolly
  • Good question Larry, and the Trailer Valet MV PRO Trailer Dolly # TV96FR can handle a lot of tongue weight - 1,200 lbs to be exact. That's going to be enough for the large majority of trailers out there.

  • Can the Trailer Valet Tow Dolly Be Used to Pull a Trailer Uphill
  • So you can use the Trailer Valet RVR9 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly # TVRVR9 you were looking at, at a maximum of 5 degrees of incline, but since your trailer is about a thousand pounds heavier than what the dolly can handle you won't be able to use this one. Instead you'd need to use the XL version # TVXL2 for a 2" ball or # TVXL25 for a 2 5 1/6" ball. These have a 10k capacity and will also work uphill using the low speed gear.

  • Can a 2024 Hyundai Palisade be Flat Towed Behind a Vehicle
  • If the dealer is telling you there isn't a way to safely flat tow a 2024 Hyundai Palisade and that a dolly or trailer is only option that is what you would have to stick with. Older vehicles it was easier to install things like drive shaft disconnects and lube pumps but on modern vehicles there just aren't the same options. So a dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy X part # DM9713093 would be what you would need to go with.

  • Video that Shows Trailer Valet MV Pro in Use
  • Hey Sherman, so the Trailer Valet MV Pro part # TV96FR is a newer version of the Trailer Valet XL which we did have the chance to use on larger trailers like what you mentioned. If you check out the review video we shot for that version of the dolly you can see how well it worked for us. Both versions of this dolly are very similar so the video would be a great representation.

  • Installing Electric Brakes on a Vehicle Tow Dolly
  • You have a 3500 pound axle, with a 4-bolt axle flange, spaced 4” apart each. You also have tires and wheels with a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. To put brakes on your West Texas Dolly # WTD-35D you will need a left and right trailer brake kit like the etrailer # AKEBRK-35 rated for 3,500 pounds, and 10” x 2-1/4” brake pads. Mounting bolts are included but nuts and lock washers # BRKH10B are not. If it were me I would purchase the etrailer # AKEBRK-35-SA self adjusting brakes so that I would...

  • Looking For Spare Wheel For Demco Car Trailer
  • Good morning, Mark. I can definitely try to point you in the right direction. Most of the Demco car trailers use a unique wheel. Meaning you cannot use a generic spare tire or wheel, and you have to buy the Demco one. For example, the Replacement Wheel for Demco Kar Kaddy 3 Tow Dolly # DM09296 is the correct replacement for the Demco Kar Kaddy 3 tow dolly, the Kar Kaddy SS and the Kar Kaddy X. An ST205/75R14 radial trailer tire with a load range of C # AM10234 is recommended to go with...

  • How Does the Travel Valet Work in Gravel
  • It honestly depends on how tightly packed the gravel is. For very, very loose gravel, the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive - 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # TVXL25 will be tough to navigate; but if the gravel is at least somewhat packed, then the Valet XL will traverse well.

  • Can 2023 Mini Cooper JCW Be Flat Towed
  • The answer appears to be no. The only company that makes a base plate for the 2023 is Roadmaster and they specifically say no JCW. Check your owner's manual to see for sure but without a base plate you're really out of luck. I tried to find the owner's manual but there are too many variables on the Mini site so couldn't find more specific information. The other thing you could check to see is if you can dolly tow it using the # DM9713045. If not, the only option would be to use a trailer.

  • What is the Best Hitch for a 2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid?
  • The best hitch for your 2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is going to be the Draw-Tite item # 24965. This hitch is custom fit for the hybrid models and bolts to your car with included hardware. It is the strongest and safest hitch available for your Sonata. I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up.
