Question:

Will the Trailer Valet work on the 2015 Venture Sonic 170VBH travel trailer? The GVWR for this trailer is 4,000 lbs and tongue weight is 325 lbs, but Im more concern on if it will have enough space to fit on the tongue with weight distribution/swag control assembly included.

Capacity-wise the Trailer Valet Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover # STC-V211 that you referenced would work well for you since it has a 500 lb tongue weight capacity and your tongue weight is 325 lbs.

The bracket takes up 8 inches of real estate on the trailer frame. If you can find an 8 inch long section on the frame of the trailer near the coupler this would work well for you.

I attached a review video for this product for you to check out as well.

Answer 6

I spoke with my contact at Trailer Valet and found that the Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover #STC-V211 has a ratio of 5 to 1 in high gear and 14 to 1 in low gear. This means that it takes 5 turns of the handle for one revolution of the tire in high gear…
