Trailer "dolly"

Unless you have a really big/strong wife, I don't think that will work out for you! :) It is light duty, with 1 7/8 ball. You can purchase a HD motorized version, that would work, and just use wife to help spot.

While the pix I am showing is not the one in your link (Etrailer pictures do not hot link very well) that looks like an extremely sketchy and absolutely dangerous device.

Are you on 100% flat land?

Any slight slope and you will find yourself easily outmatched by even a several thousand pound trailer.. Once it starts rolling, not much a 200 or 300 lb person will be able to stop..

Even on absolutely flat land and on concrete or asphalt, do you really feel confidant that you will be able to even start to roll several thousand pounds?

I use hand pallet jacks all the time at work, on concrete which is flat and level, it is back breaking work to move a pallet weighing over a thousand pounds.

This device has no brakes, depends on your own body weight to lift and hold the tongue.

Unless it is an empty boat trailer, these types of devices should be passed on.

Really, if you must hand move your trailer, you WILL want some sort of electrically powered mover WITH BRAKE CONTROL.

Otherwise, I would suggest a decent lawn and garden tractor with a hitch or put a hitch on the FRONT of your vehicle..

I tried to move my Winnie...4000 pounds dry and empty...when I first purchased at the dealers with his dolly. NO way alone. On an incline, you’ll lose it.

Got a Riding Lawnmower?




OR install a BALL on front of Truck so you can manuvear easier??

If you have level concrete then it may justify, otherwise they are a joke.

If you have perfectly level concrete drive and your the size of Schwarzenegger in his prime. You might have a fighting chance but I would put odds against you.

Like others have said a empty boat or cycle trailer would probably be ok.

Eeeeks - NO! I have owned many types and sizes of trailers through the years - I use one of those hand dollies to move my empty 800-lb utility trailer and it's HARD GOING. There is no way I would attempt to move a travel trailer of any size by hand - too many things can go wrong. For really tight spots - a ball on the front of your TV is probably the best/safest option?

One of these electric dolly may work.

ok, I get it...not a good idea :)

Thank you.
