Hello John,
Due to the weight of the trailer you would want the Trailer Valet RVR5 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly - Wireless Remote - 5,500 lbs # TVRVR5. I reached out to Trailer Valet because of the incline, we have it listed as going no more than a 5 degree incline. Trailer Valet informed me that their movers can actually handle a 7 degree incline, but to be safe would be no more than 5 degrees. So it sounds like it would get the job done, but I do have to inform you that it is recommended to do the 5 degree incline. I do not like giving vague answers like this, I wish I had a more straight forward answer for you.

Hey John, how did things go with the RVR5 on your driveway’s incline and turn? It sounds like it was right on the edge of the recommended limit. Your feedback could really help others working with similar slopes.
