Can Trailer Valet Move 2020 Lance 1475 3700 GVWR Trailer Up Incline  

Question:

Everything in the specs and reviews says this will easily handle my issue of helping me park the above 20foot 4inch L X 84inch wide trailer in my 40foot long x 15foot W concrete floored RV garage at my Las Vegas home. This said, a couple of questions remain: One comment indicated it didnt work well for moving in anything but a straight line albeit this person had a very heavy 10,000 lb trailer. I want to be able to easily position it between 4foot W x 18inch Deep x 6foot H storage racks along the sidewalls of my RV garage, perhaps at a slight angle to make it easier to park my decoupled 2020 Tacoma w/6foot bed 225inch total length in with the trailer. Do the math and you see I only have ONE foot to spare. If I dont do this, well park the shorter by about 3 feet our Subaru Outback in with the trailer and the Tacoma in the two car garage . . . not our preference. Referencing the last part of the prior paragraph, perhaps my easiest and cheapest route is to use the truck to back the trailer into the RV garage and then use a hand trailer dolly to final position it. My last question is one I think I know the answer to, but would appreciate your confirmation, one way or the other. The approach from the street is a more than slight slope of pavers as the driveway into the RV garage. See accompanying picture with the approach to the RV garage and our two vehicles parked outside the two car garage. Even with the relatively light weight 3,700 GVWR of this trailer, Im thinking I STILL would need to back it into the front half of the 40foot RV garage with the Tacoma i.e. your motorized dolly will likely not make it up the slope of the driveway approach to the RV garage.

We've had great luck with the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive # TVXL25 on inclines. We used to have a video online that showed us backing it up a steeper incline than the driveway you have in your picture. Your trailer weighing 3,700 lbs would easily work with this.
