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).

STAY AWAY- DO NOT BUY STAY AWAY- DO NOT BUY The RVR12 does not have the same tread as the smaller machines and struggles to gain traction on finished concrete and wet unfinished concrete (driveways.) As you will read in other reviews, they are very quick to accept a return for their poor quality machine. However, they charge you shipping return shipping as well as initial shipping. Additionally, I was delivered a faulty remote and they told me it would be $900 for a new one. It all seems a little scammy. I filed fraud on my CC and have returned the machine. I paid for return shipping but amex refunded the entire purchase price. BEWARE!!

Don't Go In The Water I used Trailer Valet on a 16 ft. boat. I guess the manufacturer did not anticipate that customers would use their product with boats, because the "Valet" rusted up pretty fast. Then I had a problem and needed to purchase replacement tubes for the tires on the "Valet". For the price charged I expected to receive solid gold tubes, but was astonished to learn that rubber tubes could demand such a price.

Trailer Valet don't like bass boats especially with tandem wheel trailers The company is accommodating however the "ease" of use for the device is extremely overstated. Advise to those with bass boats and looking to purchase, The device is NOT the answer to your dreams., It is simply an answer. It is difficult to crank from a bent over posture. The drill method is not as easy as the website shows so you end up hand crank and that ain't easy folks. Especially bent over, cranking while holding the break handle in the up-extended position. My new boat has tandem wheels on the trailer and the Trailer Valet don't like that one bit. So to wrap this up-it works but not even close to the ease of use the company professes, at least it doesn't for me and two different bass boats and trailer styles (2 wheel and tandem)

Short 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.
