If you like the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive part # TVXL2 but it's out of your budget then you may be interested in Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover part # STC-V211 which is a jack and dolly combo but has a smaller capacity at only 5,000 lbs. If it's a super light trailer then the Rack'Em Trailer Dolly part # RA20 works good as well. The Trailer Valet XL and Trailer Valet 5X both have chain drive systems so they won't take as much effort to move.
