Solution for Allowing Trailer with Trailer Valet Installed to Roll Without Cranking Valet

Question

Question:

We have a TV XL. Is there any way to put it in neutral so you can roll it into position without cranking it? Alternatively, is there any attachment that would allow this by lifting the driven wheels off the ground?

I wish there was a way to free wheel the Trailer Valet. The only way to do that would be to install a second jack on the trailer that has a wheel caster on it which you could lower when you needed the ability to free wheel.

Something like the Fulton part # FXPD15L would work.
