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.

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!!

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.

Hi Trailer Valet Hi Trailer Valet This is a email that I received in September 10 2020 Hope all is well! We just wanted to send you an update that your backordered Trailer Valet 5X is scheduled to ship to you on September 14, 2020. This will account for us receiving the product, full processing and our usual quality checks. Thank you so much for your patience and continued support! I called customer service on October 16 because I did not receive my order & they informed me that my order did not make it & I will need to wait till mid December what a joke not cool so I canceled my order

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.
