I use the $600 Trailer Valet XL with my 4,400# TT and it works well. It is rated for 10k# but I wouldn’t want to go there. I added a switch wired to the trailer brakes for safety as the built-in brake is clumsy to operate.
The new hands-free remote control Trailer Valet looks nice however it’s $1,200!
How did you add the Trailer Brakes switch?
The factory one seems to work well, but does make me nervous considering my Trailer weighs almost 7K Lbs.
I've gotten better at not needing it but do like having it as an option & fits well in my Pass Through storage.
I used a hose clamp to secure a bracket with a switch to the dolly handle, powered from the tongue jack fuse right there up front. Made a wire harness and connected the switch to the trailer’s blue wire for the brakes. Works well and I feel much safer using it. The dolly does take a learning curve to operate but for me it’s more than paid for itself. It stays home I don’t use it on trips, it’s 60 pounds.
