Question:
Re. Trailer Valet RVR12: can this be setup with a frame attachment? E.g.: something like the frame connection used on a RVR3. Im asking because I have a Hensley Hitch perma-mounted on my travel trailer, so use of a ball-hitch connection for a RVRx is out of the question. Thanks

Hello Angus,
I reached out to Trailer Valet and they confirmed that you cannot use the plate attachment on the 12K. They don't even sell the plate attachment separately.
Trailer Valet does make a remote control trailer mover with the frame attachments but it is only rated for 3,500 pounds instead of the 12K one you were looking at. It is the Trailer Valet RVR3 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly - Wireless Remote - 3,500 lbs # TVRVR3. I attached an image to show how it attaches to the frame of your trailer.
Another option would be the Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover - Topwind - 15" Lift - 5,000 lbs # STC-V211, this one is not controlled by a remote, but it is rated for 5k, and is also a frame mount.
What kind of travel trailer do you have?
