If you're looking for a fully electronic trailer dolly then we've got a great option; you'll want to take into consideration the GVWR and tongue weight of your trailer. If you've got a trailer under 5500-lbs then I recommend using the Trailer Valet RVR5 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly - Wireless Remote - 5,500 lbs # TVRVR5, which works with trailers with a tongue weight of up to 565-lbs. If you've got a trailer that weighs up to 9000-lbs with up to 900-lbs of tongue weight, then you'll want to use the Trailer Valet RVR9 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly - Wireless Remote - 9,000 lbs # TVRVR9.
These Trailer Valet dollies are controlled via a remote control to give you the ability to maneuver the trailer around in tight spaces and since it's remote controlled you won't have to strain yourself to get the trailer over any small bumps or anything like that.
If you're looking for something a little more pocketbook friendly but that will still get the job done, then the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive - 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 10,000 lbs # TVXL25 or # TVXL2 (with 2" hitch ball) would do a great job. This has a chain drive wheel system that is powered by a hand crank that makes it easier to move than an economy style dolly like the # RA20 you were looking at initially.
I've linked some review videos of these dollies for you to check out as well.
