How to Correct Air Leaking from Tires on Trailer Valet Trailer Mover STC-V211  

Updated 06/01/2020 | Published 07/04/2018

Question:

I have a Trailer Valet 5x I believe. It came with my trailer when I bought it used. My neighbour bought one after seeing mine and his came with solid tires. My tires need to be filled every time I take it out which is a pain. I emailed Trailer Valet but they said it does not come with solid tires. Any ideas? I will see if I can get a picture of my neighbours. It looks identical to mine.

If the pneumatic tires on your Trailer Valet # STC-V211 are needing to be aired up each time you use your trailer I suggest either using a tire sealer product like Slime Tire Sealant # SLM10007 or if that does not solve the issue replacing your tires' inner tubes with part # TVIT.

The tire on my wheelbarrow used to leak slowly until I applied some sealant. Since the sealant option is less costly I suggest trying that before replacing the inner tubes.

The main reason solid tires are not supplied by Trailer Valet is that they would not provide the same degree of traction as the inflated tires can.

I purchased this thing about a year ago from E Trailer. I'm sorry but this thing is a waste of money and time. You got to bend over low to operate this thing and can't see where your going. Then on the slightest grade the tires slip. So I installed a larger wheel on my trailer jack and just manually push the boat around and put it where I want it. That's much better than trying to use this trailer valet piece of junk.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the Trailer Valet - just out of curiosity, can you tell me what type of ground you typically maneuver the trailer around on (pavement, gravel, grass, etc)?
