Product 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 !!

The 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....

Needed 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

I 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.

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.
