AUNeeded a replacement tube in Australia Needed a replacement tube in Australia, you have to buy the tyre and tube together, $180 plus freight. This is not ethical as there is no alternative to the special Trailer Valet tube

GBAwful experience Awful experience! Bought the new trailer wheel dolly for my double axel trailer, and the first attempt at using them the wheels would bow just enough that the steel undercarriage would contact the concrete and prevent movement. But that's not the reason for the 1-star review....They told me to send them back, (I paid $90 to ship them back) and they never sent me a refund. In the end I paid $400 for the wheel Dollys, $90 to ship them back, and I ended up with no wheel dolly and $500 dollars less in my bank account. My prediction: this company becomes insolvent by the end of the next fiscal year with these practices.

GBDon'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.

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....

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.
