Question:
I have a 12,000 lb trailer and a driveway slope of 10 degrees. Is there a trailer dolly that will work?

Hey Ned, 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 is going to be the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive item # TV96FR. The Valet XL works on slopes up to 10 degrees and includes a drill bit so you can operate it with a power drill. This also has a 12k capacity like what you'd need as well.
