- Package Contents of the Trailer Valet V2
- The Trailer Valet V2 Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive - 2" and 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # TVXLV2 does come with the 9 inch solid tires, the stabilizer bracket, and the coupling plate. It is a great product at a really good price. Prices on some products do change so this may only be for an allotted time.
view full answer... - Can the Trailer Valet Drill Attachment Work on all Versions of the Trailer Valet
- The drill attachment part # TVDA that you referenced can work on either version of the Trailer Valet XL part # TVXL2 and # TVXL25 as well as the 5X part # STC-V211.
view full answer... - Can the Trailer Valet XL Be Used on Gravel Inclines
- If the incline is slight and the gravel isn't super deep the Trailer Valet XL part # TVXL25 would work. But if you have a steep driveway and/or deep gravel the wheels of the Valet are going to spin.
In the video I attached a link to we show the unit being used in gravel. We also show it being used to move up a relatively steep incline.
This does also have an internal brake that is demoed in the video I mentioned. When you stop cranking the handle the brake activates.
view full answer... - What are the Differences Between Trailer Valet V2 and Trailer Valet XL?
- The Trailer Valet V2 # TVXLV2 has the advantage over the Trailer Valet XL # TVXL25 and I recommend going with it. The differences are that the V2 # TVXLV2 comes with a stabilizing bracket as well as a stainless steel hitch ball adapter to convert the 2" hitch ball to a 2-5/16" hitch ball for use with different coupler sizes. Apart from that, these two are the same product and offer the same 1,000 lb tongue weight capacity and 10,000 lb trailer weight capacity.
view full answer... - Will Trailer Valet Work On Grass And Gravel To Move 20 Ft Boat And Trailer
- The Trailer Valet, part # STC-V211 may work with your lawn if the ground is not soft, and your tongue weight is not excessive.
The gravel may be another issue. If the gravel is loose and does not provide a solid footing it would be difficult to move the # STC-V211 with the boat attached. I have attached a product review video of the Trailer valet you can check out. The cranking that powers the drive system would depend on how level the ground is and if there is solid footing for the...

- The installation bracket for the Trailer Valet # STC-V211 that you referenced takes up to 8 inches of space to mount on the trailer frame. If you have enough room to mount the unit, you should be fine being able to swivel it into position to travel because you should not have anything else extending over the side-rails of your trailer.
In the picture I have attached are the measurements from the actual # STC-V211 we have on site. From the bottom of the wheel to the top of the unit while...
view full answer... - Dimensions Of Replacement Mounting Bracket For Trailer Valet
- There is no weight rating for the Mounting Bracket, part # TV-0002. It is designed to replace the bracket for the Trailer Valet Trailer Jack, part # STC-V211. The Trailer valet has a weight capacity of 500 lbs.
You may be able to install a different trailer jack in the bracket but since they do not test the bracket with any other manufacturer items, I cannot give you a weight capacity for the bracket or a guarantee it will work.

view full answer... - Installing Trailer Valet # STC-V211 on Trailer Frame that is Too Narrow for Supplied Hardware
- If your trailer frame is a bit too small for you to mount the bracket of Trailer Valet # STC-V211 then what I suggest is to simply use a steel spacer plate to take up that slack, rather than use different hardware. Keeping the original hardware avoids any question about strength and compatibility and the extra material at the valet's attachment point will provide reinforcement for the trailer frame. Your local hardware store will have what you need and most likely the cost for the steel...

view full answer... - Is the Trailer Valet Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover the New or Old Version
- I went out to the warehouse with the writer who wrote the description for the Trailer Valet, # STC-V211, to determine if our stock is the old or new version. I am happy to report that we have the new version. The manufacturer states the following changes:

Check out the picture I attached that shows the system being pulled up underneath a coupler.
view full answer... - How Much Space is Required on the Trailer Frame to Mount the Trailer Valet Trailer Jack and Mover
- We have tested the Trailer Valet, # STC-V211, on a trailer but not on coarse gravel. However, I feel that it would fair well because the dual wheels provide a wide surface area and the wheels are not hard plastic so they can move over a little rougher terrain than your average jack wheel.
The bracket takes up 8 inches of real estate on the trailer frame. The unit has a capacity of 5,000 pounds but the further back on the frame it is the harder it will be to use the jack portion and maneuver...
view full answer... - Can the Ball Size of the Trailer Valet XL Be Changed Easily from 2-5/16 inch to 2 inch

- We have a Trailer Valet set up on a trailer outside so I went out to test it. You can remove the jack and valet part from the mounting bracket that attaches to the trailer.

In order to completely remove the Trailer Valet, # STC-V211, you would have to loosen and remove the 4 bolts that are...
