Expert Reply:

So you can use the Trailer Valet RVR9 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly # TVRVR9 you were looking at, at a maximum of 5 degrees of incline, but since your trailer is about a thousand pounds heavier than what the dolly can handle you won't be able to use this one.

Instead you'd need to use the XL version # TVXL2 for a 2" ball or # TVXL25 for a 2 5 1/6" ball. These have a 10k capacity and will also work uphill using the low speed gear.
