Recommended Trailer Dolly for 16 Foot Long Enclosed Trailer
Question:
I have a 16foot enclosed trailer for hauling my motorcycles. Not sure of the tongue weight as i do not have it at my location. Based upon this can you recommend the appropriate trailer dolly? I am anticipating having to move it from the driveway into the garage using the dolly. Thanks,

Expert Reply:
The tongue weight and total weight will be important factors in choosing the correct trailer dolly, but I'll give you some general options that would cover different possibilities. If the total weight of the trailer is 10k-lbs or less, and the tongue weight is less than 1000-lbs, I recommend going with the Trailer Valet XL since it's going to allow you more control of the trailer. The Trailer Valet XL has a handle that allows for easy steering, a chain drive system to help make moving the dolly easier and an integrated brake to keep everything under control. If you've got a trailer with a 2" coupler you'll need the # TVXL2 , or for a 2-5/16" coupler you'll use the # TVXL25.
If the trailer has a tongue weight of 500-lbs or less with a 1-7/8" coupler, the Rack'em # RA20 you were looking at would do a good job, but it's not going to have any of the added functions that the Trailer Valet XL does.
