Trailer Dolly for Moving Enclosed Trailer to Storage
Question:
I need to park an enclosed trailer dual axle in the RV storage next to my house. There are some angles involved and a gentle slope. I would prefer to not try to use the tow vehicle due to the tight spaces and curvature of the driveway. Total weight of the trailer will be around 5,400lbs and I am unsure of the tongue weight, however 500-600lbs is probably a safe assumption. Can this be done with a caster on the tongue jack, or should I look at other options like a trailer dolly or trailer valet?

Expert Reply:
You are going to want to use a trailer dolly in order to move your trailer to storage. Since you said your tongue weight was up to 600 lbs and there is a slope I recommend the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive # TVXL2; it has a 1,000 lb tongue weight capacity and a 2" hitch ball.
This dolly has gears that can help you maneuver so long as the slope you are referring to is very gentle.
