How to Haul a Travel Trailer Up an Incline with a Winch

Updated 08/08/2018 | Published 08/07/2018

Question:

Good evening I have a new Passport Ultra Lite 31 travel trailer that I am having to pull the trailer up my concrete RV pad with a 12000 lb. Winch that I have mounted to the concrete. I am using this in tandem with I light duty trailer dolly that I have borrowed from my brother. I am looking for a permanent solution that can work in tandem with my winch since my RV pads first 15 is on an incline. Any recommendations on a jack or dolly would be great. Thanks

The best option we have for you would be to use a standard a-frame jack with a wheel. If you do not have a wheel then you can most likely add one using part # BD500245 as they are fairly universal. However, a wheel will reduce the capacity of the jack to 1,200 lbs.

We do have trailer dollies with a drive system like the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly part # TVXL25 but they cannot be pulled by a winch and have a maximum incline rating of 7-10 degrees.
