Trailer Valet RVR9 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly - Wireless Remote - 9,000 lbs

We got this for our 27’ Airstream which was within the specs for the RVR9. It took about 6 hours for a full charge after delivery. The instruction manual was sparse and should be improved. It worked like a charm to push our Airstream up a slight grade into a narrow spot (too tight for us to back it in), and then again to pull it out and ready for departure in the opposite direction. It is an asphalt surface but some dirt resulted in slippage of the tread, but some change of direction regained traction easily. The picture shows that I had to go over both patio stones and asphalt. It used about a third of the charge to come out of the garage to the trailer, move it, then return to the garage. Due to some back surgery it’s too heavy for me to lift alone. I’m not sure whether I can leave it plugged in while we’re away (the manual seems to indicate it shouldn’t be left plugged in), so again some clarity with the manual is needed. All in all, exactly what we needed and easy to use. We would have been up the proverbial creek without a paddle without the Trailer Valet.1459451

I did reach out to Trailer Valet and confirmed that once the battery is fully charged, it is not recommended to leave it plugged in.

It is extremely handy, but it is not as good on slight inclines as advertised and can have definite problems on very hard packed gravel surfaces. My boat, when put away, is about 8000 pounds. Flat concrete is not a problem, but very smooth concrete, the tracks can just spin on the surface. There are times on very slight inclines that it seems to struggle. When I bought it I questioned if I had the right model, the one for 9000 pounds. There are absolutely not markings on the unit so it is impossible to tell what size it is. When I called up to question this, the folks on the other end of the line, somewhat annoyed, said you can't tell, you just have to believe we sent you the right one.1336117

I reached out to the manufacturer and on the RVR unit itself, there is a silver sticker on the top of the unit that would have the product information you are looking for. The model number or part number on it should say TVRVR9.

This dolly works perfectly for the job it was built for but it’s not built for off asphalt conditions. I have my trailer parked in the back yard under the trailer carport. Due to the tight space between my house and garage, this dolly must travel over grass and gravel. The first time I used my dolly, the plastic end caps sheared off at the screw holes on the bottom while trying to maneuver over the gravel. I quickly learned to keep moving in a straight direction when moving over gravel. Life is much easier when moving my trailer since I started using my dolly and it’s well worth the money except for the plastic end caps.1361101

Works great on flat ground. I back my trailer into my rv parking next to my house then use the dolly to position it so I can open the side door and extend the steps. The angle of my driveway prevents me from using my truck to get the trailer in the correct spot.1335426

works great! I have a 20' aluminum boat with a double axle trailer it moves with ease!!

I would recommend this to anyone who has a tight area.1438878

Worked great. Took a few minutes to get used to controlling it but once I figured it out everything was ok. the trailer I was pushing up an incline was a 5200 pound tandem axle trailer and went up the incline fairly easy. I have it setting right where I want it. It was pretty pricey but if you figure the monthly cost of a storage space it will be paid for in less than 2 years! I would highly recommend it for some one who has a tight space to park in and can aford it.1335164

No pt good for anything but a very lite fishing boat, had to return as it did not pull my 14’ enclosed trailer (empty) without loosing traction or trying to tip itself over. Needs to be wider and more centered on the device for stability1297086

This part is designed to work on a multitude of surfaces like asphalt, gravel, dirt, and grass. I recommend viewing our video demonstration in the link below.

Trailer Valet RVR5 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly Review - Video

by: David W12/19/2022

I use this trailer dolly to move my bass boat and my trailer in and out of my 60 ft. RV area. My RV pad is between my house and my fence and it was extremely difficult not to hit the eaves of my house with my trailer or the fence with my truck. Using the Trailer Dolly, I can walk around the trailer and see all hazards while the Trailer Dolly is remotely pulling my trailer in or out of my RV pad. No more blind spots or wedging my truck against the fence trying to line the trailer up. With the superb maneuverability the Trailer Dolly has, I can also park my bass boat next to my trailer. This was impossible to do without the Trailer Dolly.
At first, I was a little concerned moving my 8,000 lb. trailer because the Trailer Dolly seemed a bit unstable pulling the trailer. I kept thinking it was going to tip over (which it never has). After experimenting with the direction, the dolly faces while pushing or pulling, I have had no problem moving my trailer upwards of 60 feet to my driveway without any tipping. Since the Trailer dolly will rotate on its axis, I can maneuver my trailer and boat into tight spaces.
I have owned this Trailer Dolly for a year now and I am 100% pleased with it.
I have 2 different size balls for my boat and trailer and I found it time consuming switching out the balls for each trailer. I solved this by purchasing a 2nd post. Now I have a post with my 2 in. ball for my boat and one with the 2 5/16 in ball for my trailer. Switching out the posts is much easier then switching out the balls each time I move both my toys.
Bottom Line:
Although this Trailer Dolly was a little expensive, it was worth it. It has saved me a lot of stress and quite possibly my marriage by not having my wife guide me in and out of my tight RV area with the truck hooked up to the trailer.1487045

Excellent! Expensive though, but when i look at all of the applications i use this Trailer Valet for, it's worth it. A mishap or two with fences, tights squeezes between vehicles, etc. and it would have paid for itself. It struggles a bit with my heavy trailer when using it on an incline, but it hasn't failed me (in the beginning the struggles could have been user error). The one thing I'll knock this item for is the quality of the remote. I use it often, but the buttons on the remote are coming off. I'm not sure if this can be replaced and re-paired with the unit. But one of the direction arrows has to now be pushed down hard while rubbing it or moving your thumb to get the connection. Tires the thumb pretty quickly as these units don't crawl too fast!1483422

Based on my town I have quite a tight space to get my camper in, my driveway is also on a pretty large slope ~4-7 degrees depending on where you stand. It moved the trailer without an issue, and took a three person job that took about 2 hrs down to a 1 person job about 15 min. I was very skeptical at first but I love the product. It did have some issues on the rocks as I had to change directions slightly so it dug in, I will probably ged pavers or something for the front. All in all it worked great, and removed all stress for me!!!774689

battery charge lasts very short time. There's no time to move your trailer around.
Way...too expensive for what this product is worth.1261296

I reached out to the manufacturer and the time that the charge will hold is 30 minutes.

Waiting to hear back about returning this product. The rubber tracks are propelled by plastic sprockets. Mine didn’t even last through a test drive with a 14’ unloaded 1,500 tilt trailer. I had to drop the trailer jack and jockey a truck in to complete my move.1175800

Thank you for the review! Our customer service team should be reaching out to you in the near future.

I have yet to try it in the first in the field however and it brought a smile to my face. It's a little loud and you ain't gonna win any trailer races with but I'll be damnedvif it did perform as promised. I'm considering fabricating a seat for it when it's not being used for my trailer so I can look like Johnny 5 going to the liquor store!1265100

Wonderful product. Let me preface this review by saying that I’ve used the XL Pro but at my age “old” it was a lot of work. However the TVRVR9 is a breeze to hookup and use. The photo shows that I moved my 33’ trailer on rather course gravel with absolutely no issues. I’m a very pleased owner of the TVRVR9. Most reviewers post Pros and Cons at this point I’ve no cons to post.

It works great, after I figured out what the four extra screws were for.No explination in manual. No information on the boxes that it came in to confirm that it was the right one, it uses Newton weights on the unit. I had to use Google for information. A bit of a learning curve moving the trailer on gravel but no complaints it did what it was supposed to do I'm very pleased1263564

We purchased the RVR9 to help us move our 20 ft. travel trailer into and out of our storage unit. This is a full enclosed storage unit and is impossible to park our trailer without a spotter. The RVR9 allows us to easily maneuver and get our trailer parked safely and confidently with only 1 person. That being said (and as I've seen other reviews comment) it's a bit sluggish reacting to control input. Would be nice if the start & stop were more precise. But once you get used to it it's not that bad. Otherwise it's a great little buddy for our trailer!1119821

It worked very well, had no problem pulling off street up driveway into covered parking, can see everything it's doing with remote!1251908

Our experience with E Trailer in ordering and delivering our item was as expected. Now I just hope when I have the chance to use the product the experience is the same.1207224

Wow what a back saver , I am expressed ,kinda pricey but worth it to save my back, I am only getting older1273570

8’ wide travel traile with 6” awnings on both sides going into a 10’ wide door leaves about 6” on each side.
Trailer Valet makes getting in and out very easy! I can now get the trailer in or out by myself!
Better than expected!877630

So far controller buttons have stuck
They did replace fast and easy
Other issue
Tracks/ treads wear/ shred relatively easily if any weight on it on incline while turning937963

This a really neat device. It works great on level ground. If there is any kind of incline the robot struggles. I use it on a variety of trailers including a flat bed, RV trailer, and enclosed trailer. I am pretty happy with this purchase.830541

It works well. Was packaged and shipped properly. I am pleased.1177275

It seems to work good, I just need practice with the control1154602
