The Trailer Valet RVR9 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly # TVRVR9 can be used to move your trailer up slopes or inclines of no more than 5 degrees, so as long as it's not sloped more than that it will be able to handle this without issues. When using the RVR robot to move your trailer up an incline, the RVR must push the trailer up the slope. When going down an incline, the RVR must lead, or pull, the trailer down the slope- so this should be taken into consideration during use.

I've linked some review videos of this dolly that show it in action that you might want to check out, as well.
