Question:
I am buying a boat/trailer combination weighing about 2500 lbs. I need to move it manually the last 30 feet going into my garage. Will a 3 wheel trailer dolly work or do I need the Trailer Valet?

Expert Reply:
The Rack'em Trailer Dolly part # RA20 which is what I recommend has a weight capacity of 500 lbs therefore it will work for a 2,800 lb boat trailer which likely has a tongue weight of 300ish lbs so you are within the range. That said, this option really comes down to strength and how much you are able to psychically pull which will take into account terrain. If you feel this will be a struggle then the Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover part # STC-V211 would indeed be a better option.
