What is the Maximum Incline for Trailer Valets?

Question

Question:

Hi there, What is the max slope the RV12 can handle? I have a 2008 Arctic Fox TT, 26z. About 7000lb, 700lb tongue weight that needs to be parked up about a 8 grade that’s packed dirts. Could this unit or any unit you sell achieve this? Thanks!

The Trailer Valet RVR12 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly item # TV59FR has a 5 degree slope limit on a paved concrete surface. The best option I have for your 7,000 lbs 2008 Arctic Fox TT is going to be the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive item # TVXL2. The Valet XL works on slopes up to 10 degrees and includes a drill bit so you can operate it with a power drill.
