  • Availability of Trailer Dolly to Move a Motorcycle Trailer That Connects to 2-5/16 Inch Hitch Ball
  • You can use the Rackem Trailer Dolly, part # RA20, to move your motorcycle trailer that uses a 2-5/16 inch size hitch ball. This trailer dolly has a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball size. Proper ball fit is necessary when towing, but for moving a trailer with this dolly it is not necessary. The trailer dolly # RA20, has a tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs. Tongue weight is usually 10 to 15 percent of the trailer weight. As long as you can physically pull the weight yourself and the tongue weight...

  • How to Activate Reverse Lockout on Boat Trailer When Moving it By Hand with a Tow Dolly
  • It sounds like you're just needing to activate the reverse light function on a standard 5-Way connector so your boat trailer actuator will use the lockout for you to move the trailer around by hand with your dolly. I don't know of any handheld 12V power sources but you should be able to use a small battery like what you find with a breakaway kit # 50-85-313 and then wire the power only to the last pin on a 5-Way like part # HM47910 to send power to the lockout function on your actuator. It...

  • Does The Trailer Valet RVR12 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly Allow For Swapping Out Battery Packs?
  • The Trailer Valet RVR12 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly # TV59FR battery is not removable from the rover itself. Only the batteries from the remote can be removed and replaced. This is their heaviest duty unit which would work best in a commercial environment. It would be best to have multiple units since the average battery life is 30 minutes with a charge time of 2 hours.

  • Will Fulton F2 Swivel Trailer Jack, # F1413040134 Fit on Aluminum EZ Loader Trailer
  • I do have wheel replacement kits available for the Fulton jacks, if you think replacing just the wheel would solve your problem. I would need to know the model of jack you have to see if there is a replacement wheel available. I am including a link to a product page that will show all of the Fulton wheels I carry. To upgrade to a newer Fulton jack I would need to know what size of jack you have on your trailer now, or the tongue weight of the trailer, the size of trailer tongue, and how...

  • Dirt Bike Carrier With Car Tow Dolly on Class C Motorhome
  • Because the front of vehicle will be slightly raised while situated on the tow dolly, you would not want to a hitch at the rear of the towed vehicle, this downward angle would probably cause drag issues. One option and the most straight forward, would be to go with an adapter such as # D210. This has a lower hitch for the tow dolly and then a higher opening for accessories. You will need to verify weight ratings and fitment of dirt bike and current components such as tow dolly against...

  • Steering Wheel Lock Recommendation That Doesn't Make Contact with Windshield or Seat
  • For your application I recommend picking up the The Club Pedal-to-Wheel Vehicle Lock # WICL303RED. This secures around one of your pedals (brake, gas, or clutch) as well as your steering wheel to keep them from moving. Attached is a review video for you to check out!

  • Is there a Wheel Caster Available for Husky Brute Jacks
  • There are currently no wheel casters that are confirmed to work on the Husky Brute Jacks like part # HT87247. Husky doesn't offer any most likely because wheel casters don't have very high capacities and the Husky Brute jacks have pretty high capacities so having a wheel for them would greatly reduce the overall capacity of the jack setup. If your tongue weight happened to be under 500 lbs you could use a trailer dolly like part # RA20 to move your trailer around.

  • Surge Brake Actuator For Small Trailer With Disc Brakes, Manual and Electric Reverse Lock Out Option
  • For a surge actuator that will allow for both electric and manual lockout on disc brakes I recommend the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX56FR. This comes with a electric lockout solenoid for when you are connected to your truck or you can use the Lockout Key # DX94FR when you are moving the trailer around with a type of trailer dolly. The Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM62VR you found does not offer a manual lockout. Either actuator will require 1/2" by 4-1/2" grade-5 bolts...

  • Will Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly TVXL2 Work On 2022 NuCamp TaB 320-CS-S Trailer?
  • The Trailer Valet XL # TVXL2 you were looking at will work with your 2022 NuCamp TaB 320-Cs-S as long as your trailer uses a 2" hitch ball. I couldn't find any information on which size coupler it uses, but with its weight it could be 1-7/8" or 2", though there's no option if you have a 1-7/8" coupler except replacing it with a 2". The # TVXL2 is rated for trailers up to 10,000lbs, so it will make moving your 2,300lb trailer around super easy.

  • Availability of Jack for Small Tear Travel Trailer That Works Better in Gravel
  • Going with an A-frame jack with a larger diameter wheel should make maneuvering through gravel a bit easier. You could go with the Fulton F2 Trailer Jack part # F1413250334 and the 8 inch diameter caster wheel # F500266. This would be the best option among the products we offer. If you're simply wanting to move the trailer around in the area where it's being stored, a trailer dolly like the # RA20 would work absolutely great for you. The pneumatic tires would make maneuvering the trailer...
