- pasusanExplorerWe have a tight parking spot for our trailer and looked into these. We ended up with a front hitch for our truck - works great.
- mobeewanExplorerI haven't used it yet but I bought a Parkit360 option B Force 10K (basic without trailer brake control).
It came with 22 inch and 80 inch cables. I ordered matching Anderson connectors and cut the 80 inch cable to make a second 22 inch cable for a second trailer. Will use what is left of the 80 inch cable as my extension cable for both trailers. I ordered it with both 2 inch and 2-5/16 balls. I'm not moving on a grade so didn't order the brake option. I plan on adding an extension to the emergency brakeaway just in case I need to emergency stop.
Previously I was backing into my front yard through a 10 ft gate on a 100 ft dia cul de sac. Using a front hitch.
At the new address accross the street I need to turn in sharply to the right from a 12 ft wide private roadway with fences into the back yard. Backing in might be possible with a lot of trouble. So i had a 6 ft fence with 24 ft wide gate put in set back 4 ft and will have to pull the trailer into the yard after unhitching. Backing in at the front of the house is not an option. The yard is 2 feet higher than the street, there is no driveway and there is a Nice Crape Myrtle tree providing the only shade in the front yard where a driveway would have to go.
I should be moving the trailer into the back yard next month. - Y-GuyModeratorI had one about 13 years ago, did the job like I needed it to. Electric powered, and required you to hook up to the battery to, setup took a while but it was well worth it. It had it's own mounting system, didn't depend on using the jack. The down side was it conflicted with my Equalizer WDH so I had to take it on and off.
But trying to back up with the gas line that was misplaced nearly caused a divorce, the power mover saved the day. I would move the trailer by myself if needed without any worry.
When we changed RVs I sold it for just about what I paid for it, less the shipping costs. That guy has been using it since then. - drmoparExplorerI purchased the Power Caster years ago to move my trailers around my yard. The Power Caster does a great job. It also has a switch and wire harness that you wire into your electric brake circuit that allows you to lock the brakes to hold trailer on a incline so it does not roll away when using. I went with the A/C powered unit rather than the 12 volt battery unit. The only issue I have had was the face plate on the switch box is larger than the box, and the sharp razor like edge has sliced me open a few time while turning the trailer. I contacted Power Caster about this issue, but they just blew me off.
