GBI dont think its worth the money. I was moving a 3000lb Enclosed 20x8 Trailer with the Valet, hoping it would help me park the trailer behind my house (9ft gap). The valet has alot of compliance and does not enstill confidence, I guess it requires ALOT of practice and strength and probably should only be used on flat solid surfaces.. It works, but not as well as I imagined. Honestly...I wish I could return it but since the unit was refurbished I cannot.

GBFail The TrailerValet XL doesn't work with my 9,000lb trailer. The trailer was empty and it not only could not move it, but damaged the trailer metal tow receptacle. The TrailerValet may work with light trailers, but do not use it for a heavier trailer. Now I need to find some way to sell my TrailerValey XL. I regret this purchase.

CA"Stucco Mesh Really Helped" Works as expected after some trial and error using stucco mesh to improve traction. ( google: 27-in-x-96-in-galvanized-steel-flooring-lath) Our challenge was to move our 3500 lb trailer by pulling it across a grassy area, up and over an incline onto loose gravel which was the goal to have the trailer behind a fence, plugged in with the door able to open. This required pulling the trailer through a narrow opening with 3" to spare on each side. Pulling was required to allow the door to the trailer to open. The largest challenge was maintaining traction for the tires, across a combination of slippery grass, dirt and loose gravel. Our solution was a 24" wide stucco mesh 5' long. Once we had the stucco mesh positioned under the dual wheels they did not spinout. This allowed other difficulties such as maintaining an up right position and use of a battery powered drill to move the trailer safely exactly and carefully to where we wanted it.

GBProduct worked great for about 10… Product worked great for about 10 minutes - then one inner tube let go. The root cause seems the value stem is really long for the application and manually bent. Bottom line the stem caught the roller housing and tore away. Went back to the company and was told inner tube on back order or I could buy one from a distributor. I really feel the company put 100% of the design and or manufacturing problem back on me to procure, dissemble the product, replace the tube. Defintely not the $500 user experience I was looking for !!

GBThis company literally has the worst… This company literally has the worst customer service of any company I have dealt with. They are AWOL. They use an answering service and Customer Service keeps sending you form answers. I need to order replacement parts. Can I get someone to call me or take my order? NO. Actually I love my Trailer Valet XL, but what good is it to have a $700 item if I can't get replacement parts. They apparently are all about making the sale, and then "SCREW YOU." when it comes to helping their loyal customers keep the product in working order. They should be ashamed. Dr. Greg Lousignont
