After a trial use, it did not fit my needs and I requested an RMA on their contact page. Never got a response and ended calling them. After several calls and emails I sent back the unit. Did not get a response about receiving it or a that a refund was being credited. 20 days later after they received my return, I got a credit on my cc minus the shipping charge and of course no email. Their products are ok but their customer service is severely lacking. Thanks for the lack of effort Aaron (less then helpful Trailer Valet customer rep).

GBThe trailer valet performed as… The trailer valet performed as advertised, but it had trouble moving my small (21ft) travel trailer on my slightly sloping driveway. Also the handle/brake lever needs a solid detent/locking feature when fully extended. On more than one occasion, while I was using a power drill to move/crank the trailer valet (move the trailer), the brake engaged and the drill spun and I thought I might have broken my wrist. Fairly painful. Other than that it was fine....

GBShort Version Short Version: Like many things about towing in the US, don't trust the maximum specification: the 5X is said to be good to #500 tongue weight, but it's not. The side-mount bracket is not strong enough for the torque, the back brackets that saddle the tongue bend, the lift tube flexes, the screw jack has too much friction, the tires are squashed. It's just not up to it, especially after a couple years of occasional use.

GBHi Trailer Valet Hi Trailer Valet This is a email that I received in September 10 2020 Hope all is well! We just wanted to send you an update that your backordered Trailer Valet 5X is scheduled to ship to you on September 14, 2020. This will account for us receiving the product, full processing and our usual quality checks. Thank you so much for your patience and continued support! I called customer service on October 16 because I did not receive my order & they informed me that my order did not make it & I will need to wait till mid December what a joke not cool so I canceled my order

GBMy experience with this product is once… My experience with this product is once connected to the hitch receiver, the ball on the trailer valet moves in the socket created by this connection. No matter how tight I make the collar on the Trailer Valet, it still wanders in the socket causing the collar to loosen. This has led to the trailer receiver being bent where I have had to hammer it out. If I keep using it, I will eventually have to have a new receiver installed.
