For a 5,000 lb trailer the dolly solution would be the Rack'em Dolly part # RA20 which has a 500 lb tongue weight capacity. If you wanted something that would make moving the trailer a little easier the Trailer Valet XL part # TVXL25 for if you have a 2-5/16 inch ball or part # TVXL2 for if you have a 2 inch ball would be a really great solution. These attach to the coupler and then use a hand crank to turn the wheels of the dolly to make moving it around much easier.
