The Trailer Valet RVR9 # TVRVR9 is rated for a trailer up to 9,000lbs with a 900lb tongue weight. As long as your 8,000lb trailer does not exceed the tongue weight for this you will be able to move your trailer. We do have the Trailer Valet RVR12 # TV59FR which may be a better option as it will move faster than the RVR9. While being capable of moving a trailer up to 12,000lbs with 1,200lbs of tongue weight it has 3 speed modes. In the fastest mode it can move at up to 120 feet per minute. The RVR9 tops out at 29.5 feet per minute.

I've attached the photos of the instructions that come with the Trailer Valet XL Mounting Bracket #TVXLMB. It's a 2 page document, but hopefully it gives you a good idea of how it mounts and works with a Trailer Valet #TVXL2 or #TVXL25.
