Can Trailer Valet Be Used With Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Coupler

Question

Question:

Greetings, I have an Opus camper with the lock and roll hitch. Weve just had a slab poured beside the house to store the camper, however its a very tricky entry. I was wondering in there is an adapter for the trailer side to make it into a ball hitch. That way I can get a trailer valet, or some other camper mover to maneuver the trailer into a tight spot. Those valet things all seem to come with ball attachments.

I do have an option for you but there is no such adapter for the Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Coupler. That said, there is another Trailer Valet which mounts to the frame therefore can be used with non standard couplers. The Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover part # STC-V211 is what I recommend using. It has a built-in jack for lifting and wheel/drive system for easy maneuvering into tight spaces.

Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly #TVXL25 will be able to move your trailer at the near 90 degree angle and up the incline of the driveway. The dolly has 2 gears and you will likely find that the low speed, 27 to 1 ratio will make it easier on you…

The Trailer Valet XL, part #TVXL2 with 2 inch ball and the #TVXL25 with the 2-5/16 inch ball are meant for use on level surfaces only, they wouldn't work well on the slope you describe.. Actually, I have a much less expensive and easier to use…

Answer 8

The Trailer Valet XL part #TVXL2 that you referenced can handle small inclines pretty well. If you check out the review video at the 2:30 mark you'll see the dolly being used to push a trailer up a pretty decent incline.

Answer 9

You wouldn't want to try and move a trailer up an incline with the MT70881. The dolly itself would be fine but you would most likely not be able to pull that heavy of a trailer up an incline. And then if you somehow did get it going up the…

I attached a picture that shows that the Trailer Valet XL #TVXL2 can handle inclines pretty well. As long as the ramp is concrete or pavement you should be fine. You'd most likely want to lead with the tongue of the trailer down the incline. I…
