I need an electric dolly so that I can walk my R-pod down my narrow driveway about 60'.  Can anyone recommend one?

I've seen this one used, worked real well.
Here is a video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqVDxOMrgak#t=81
Not electric and has two gears.

You could go for the high-end solution: http://www.amazon.com/Easi-Move-Trailer-Powered-electric-trailer/dp/B00CD8XIHE/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A1AX5CGGC9ZCW5

I personally use a standard trailer dolly (not the powered kind) and it works pretty well. If I were doing it over again, I’d get one with a castor like this: http://www.amazon.com/Tow-Tuff-TMD-1000C-Adjustable-Trailer/dp/B0079YMIFA/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1398982303&sr=8-6

As long as your driveway isn’t too steep the hand dollys are probably fine.

   We have a electric dolly we would sell you but the freight cost be more than the dolly would cost. It weighs I believe over a hundred pounds. Unless you were wanting a vacation in Florida.

Thank you all.  I am not sure if the standard dolly can handle my 3400 lbs 182G.  I have seen the Trailer Valet but due to the fact that my trailer has the stabilizer brackets on each side of it I don't think there is a place for me to attach it.

Trailer Valet is a tongue jack, so it doesn't attach to the frame, it attaches to the tongue, has two gears and will do a incline.

Remember the dolly only supports the tongue weight- just like the hitch on your TV.  The deciding factor is if you can get the trailer moving, and then control it when you need to stop.  That is when the 3400 lb weight is involved.

You know what you'll say when you order one of these and you open the box for the first time?
