Trailer Valet XL

Hmmm .... seems to me like some very expensive solution to a problem that shouldn't be that much. Oh well to each their own, right?

My dolly cost me about 550$, without it I would have to take the pod to storage at a 100$ a month, for 5 years that would be 6000$, well worth the price of the dolly. I bring the pod in the back alley, but then I have to make a sharp 90* turn up a 10 % grade to park it behind the garage. We are not allowed to park our RV in the driveway. With the dolly I save a 100$ a month, bonus, I have the pod at home where it is  fenced in.

I have a Rpod 179 and have a narrow passage on driveway. I've been using a trailer dolly (three wheels) with off/on kill switch connected to trailer battery to activate brakes due to slight incline. Sometimes, I need to pull trailer forward and my body can't handle. Question: Should I purchase the Trailer Valet XL or the 5X? If mounting the 5X on passenger side of tongue, would mounting bracket interfere with Fastway E2 sway bar bracket? I believe I can mount, as 8 inches of frame is available. However, perhaps the XL is better choice. My trailer has the 500 pound tongue weight and single axle rated about 3800 pounds, so the 5X is probably okay. Ground is concrete pavement. If having the 5X, there's concern about folding on tongue during trips? I can remove too. The 5X wheel appears to fold toward the front, not rearward. Concerned about turning radius as well. Guess I could remove for travel. The 5X is cheaper than the XL. So, assuming the Trailer Valet works based on most reviews, should I opt for the 5X or spend money for the XL w/2" ball. Thanks, Dengle

Seeing the GG has direct experience with both his advice is well taken.  Also if you decide to try it anyway, as you have good smooth concrete, maybe you could give it a go.  Worse case scenario is that it fails the test, as it did with GG, and you end up returning it.
