Tow Dolly for Travel Trailer With 2 Coupler
Question:
Can this be used with a travel trailer that has a 2” ball coupler and has a tongue weight below 500 lbs.

Expert Reply:
The 1-7/8" hitch ball on the Rack'em Trailer Dolly # RA20 is compatible with your travel trailer that has a 2" coupler; the coupler and ball size don't have to be a perfect match when just using a dolly.
Having said that, the best option is the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive - 2" Hitch Ball # TVXL2 as it is the easiest to maneuver, but is also the premium option. The Valet XL has a chain drive system that allows you to switch between high and low gears and a drill bit so you can use a power drill to move the dolly instead of moving it by hand.
Another option I recommend checking out is the Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover # STC-V211 which doubles as a jack and allows you to position the trailer where you need it.
I've added links to video reviews of these options for you.
