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.

My experience with this product is once… My experience with this product is once connected to the hitch receiver, the ball on the trailer valet moves in the socket created by this connection. No matter how tight I make the collar on the Trailer Valet, it still wanders in the socket causing the collar to loosen. This has led to the trailer receiver being bent where I have had to hammer it out. If I keep using it, I will eventually have to have a new receiver installed.

Great concept but not-so-great… Great concept but not-so-great execution. There are several design flaws: 1. TIre inflator port is too long and is cathing the frame. Had to replace the tube once already. 2. Brakes engage prematurely after the slightest release of the handle. 3. Plastic ring from beneath the post got chewed up after 3 weeks of using. 4. No place to secure the handle when not in use.

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

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....
