Question:
Hi. I have a sloped driveway that is tough for me to get my boat trailer backed. How well do these do on slopes? Also would you recommended maybe a higher power remote controlled valet to compensate for the incline? If I had to guess the boat trailer and all would weigh about 4500. Any insights would be a big help thank you!

Hi Jason; it depends on the slope. Since it is difficult to back your boat trailer I'm guessing it is more than 5º of slope which is the max for the # TV59FR. If it is 5 or less then this will work well. The Trailer Valet XL # TVXL2 will work up to 10º and can be operated with a drill so that is another possible option.
What kind of vehicle do you have? There may be a front hitch available which would be another solution.
