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.

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)

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!!

This trailer valet has a major design… This trailer valet has a major design flaw, it does not stay in the upright position under stress. The wheel will start moving out from under the ball coupling pretty soon after 1 or 2 feet of movement the trailer valet will be at 45 degree angle. I do not recommend this product. To anyone. I gave followed the directions and watched multiple videos thing I may do doing something wrong.

I purchased the trailer valet jx side… I purchased the trailer valet jx side mount with a wheel for my tracker boat. The bolts and nuts are flush when installed and I can't engage the jack when lowering it because the long shaft and the large wheel. Went online to buy the plate to see if it gets me a few inches extra of space. Got in contact with customer service to see if they sold longer bolts. Didn't want to help whatever and gave no solutions or advice.
