Hey Tom! Great question. The Parkit360 Force Electric Trailer Dolly #PA96VR (5,000 lbs) and #PA46VR (10,000 lbs) will work on an incline. However, if the grade is more than 6% you cannot use the dolly. As long as your driveway is no more than a 6%…
Hey Terry. The Parkit360 Force Electric Trailer Dolly item #PA46VR does not have turning wheels and those larger, 6-1/2" wide tires, are not going to turn on a dime. You'll have to do some maneuvering with it to pull off a sharp turn. The…
Hello Dave, thanks for reaching out. The reason for this is certain Jayco models use underslung couplers. The Parkit360 Force Electric Trailer Dolly #PA46VR is only compatible with overslung couplers. Overslung is a lot more common than underslung.…
Hey Ken, great question, and nice camper! The short answer is no you don’t rewire the Lippert ABS to work with the DeeMaxx kit, you essentially bypass it. Your Brinkley’s Lippert ABS controller is built for electric drum brakes, meaning it’s watching…
It sure will Russel. The Parkit360 Force Electric Trailer Dolly item #PA96VR has a 5,000 lbs capacity. It's going to work great with your Jayco Jay Flight SLX 195RB. It also has both a 2" and 2-5/16" hitch ball included. What kind of…
Hey David, the Redarc Tow-Pro Link Bluetooth Brake Controller #RED57AR that you referenced will fit any vehicle that has a 7-way installed on it including your 2017 Ram 3500 that has a factory brake controller. This will bypass that circuit on your…
Hey Terry, you’re likely not doing anything wrong. The Force #PA96VR has wide 6-1/2” tires that give great traction, but they don’t pivot sharply. For tight angle turns, it helps to alternate between forward and reverse, “walking” the tongue in…
Hey Jacob, a 4,500 lb trailer is probably going to be too heavy for a person to pull around with the Trailer Valet Dolly part #TV73FR that you referenced. The dolly would be fine but even on perfectly flat pavement a single person would struggle and…
Hi Chris! The Parkit360 Force Electric Trailer Dolly - 10,000 lbs #PA46VR has a 2 prong plug (see attached image). I will admit to be surprised by that, but that is what they decided to go with. It isn't going to hurt anything though. What are…
Hey Dom, thanks for reaching out! The Third Wheel Adapter is only available directly from Parkit360 for the Parkit360 Force Electric Trailer Dolly #PA96VR at this point in time, unfortunately. We have the EZ Connect Hitch Adapter #PA78VR which also…
Hey Brian! The Parkit360 Force Electric Trailer Dolly #PA96VR may work on your Jayco Jay Flight without the adapter. We had another customer successfully use it on his Jayco Jay Flight SLX 195RB without one. However, if you have an Atwood coupler…
Hey Daniel, thanks for the part number. You'll still need to install a 7-way connector on your 2022 Toyota RAV-4 hybrid to power the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller item #3430001. The 4-Way like item #C59236 that fits your RAV-4 does not…
Master the Art of Trailer Maneuvering with a Trailer Dolly
A trailer dolly is an essential tool for anyone needing to maneuver trailers into tight spaces or over challenging terrain. Whether you're storing a boat, camper, or utility trailer, a dolly can transform a multi-person task into a solo operation. Consider factors like terrain, trailer weight, and dolly type (manual or motorized) to find the perfect fit for your needs.
Trailer dollies perform well on flat surfaces but can struggle on slopes or uneven terrain. For better traction, consider using larger tires or adding pavers on rocky areas. Some users find that using plywood can help manage bumps or elevation changes.
Manual dollies are great for lighter trailers and flat surfaces, offering a cost-effective solution. Motorized dollies, while pricier, provide more power and control, especially on slopes or with heavier trailers, making them ideal for more challenging conditions.
Assembly can sometimes be tricky, with issues like misaligned holes or difficult stabilizer bar connections. Loosening nuts to adjust parts and using alternative fasteners like pins instead of bolts can help streamline the process.
Improving traction can be achieved by ensuring the dolly's tires are suitable for the surface. Larger tires can help, and using additional materials like plywood can reduce elevation steps. Keeping momentum when moving over bumps also aids in maintaining traction.
A trailer dolly simplifies moving trailers into tight storage spaces, turning a multi-person task into a quick solo job. It's especially beneficial for those with limited garage space or tight driveways, saving time and reducing stress.
