Choosing a Trailer Dolly for Your Travel Trailer

When it’s time to move, it’s time to move! A trailer dolly can make moving your trailer exceptionally easy. It gives your trailer another axle to turn, guide, and position precisely where it needs to be to hitch it to your vehicle. You might wonder how to choose a trailer dolly for your travel trailer. Start by considering your trailer’s type and weight for smooth travels. Read on to learn more about finding the right one for you.

Durable Materials

A reliable trailer dolly is sturdy and durable. These features allow you to use it for a long period. We recommend an all-steel model because it resists corrosion. A dolly made of durable materials doesn’t require extensive maintenance, so you can use it often without worrying about its condition.

Adjustability Options

Transporting trailers is tricky because they are so heavy. Luckily, you can adjust a trailer mover to accommodate your trailer. For example, adjust the hitch’s height without depressing the handle. Then, you don’t have to exert much force when adjusting the hitch. This flexibility is especially advantageous on uneven ground or inclines. Understanding a trailer dolly’s adjustability options is one of the best ways to choose one for your travel trailer.

Motorized or Manual Trailer Dolly?

Motorized and manual trailer movers have drawbacks and benefits. Manual dollies are more affordable and have fewer moving parts than motorized trailers. However, you’ll have to move the trailer and dolly yourself, which could be challenging without help.

A motorized trailer might be better because you can save energy and time when moving your travel trailer. Additionally, electric trailer movers can handle more weight. Depending on your travel trailer’s weight and the added weight of whatever you’re towing, you might have to get an electric dolly anyway.

"I've been using the TRAX X2 powered trailer dolly to move my 5th wheel trailer around in tight camping locations, and it has been a total lifesaver! In the past, I used to struggle to navigate my trailer through narrow spaces and tight corners, but with the TRAX X2, I can easily and precisely maneuver my trailer exactly where I need it. The joystick control is incredibly responsive and allows me to make small adjustments, even in tight spaces, easily. Overall, I'm thrilled with how much easier and more efficient the TRAX X2 has made my camping trips, and I would highly recommend it to anyone in a similar situation." Jason Day - Portland OR

The dolly arrived yesterday and all I can say is WOWZA! When the Fedex truck showed up, I instantly dropped what I was doing and started assembling the TX6000. Then I grabbed my camera and started shooting. 🙂 My first video just went live: https://youtu.be/qUF10nUPbIY a few minutes ago. Here is another one with me moving a tiny home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXHHLZq51XQ

Sorry for the delay in writing my customer testimonial Jeff, we just got back from a long-needed vacation. Ok, my thoughts on your trailer mover.. It's Fantastic!! When I talked to you over the phone and told you the gross weight of my trailer was 2000 pounds over your limit and that I might be using it on grass and gravel. You were confident the TX6000 would move it nicely. I am very happy to say it did the job perfectly! Thank you for your time spent talking with me during the weekend. It still surprises me that you were available to talk so late at night. Best wishes to you and your company James.

I have owned a few power dolly solutions to move my bass boat into my tight garage but none of them could get my trailer's tires over the curbing. They simply didn't have enough speed to drive the tires over the quick rise and simply caused the other powered dolly solutions to lose traction and spin on the spot. The TX6000 had a huge amount of power and speed. I was able to hop over the curb as if it never was there in the first place and the ability to switch between high and low speeds at a flick of a switch was what I've always wanted. It took me only a few seconds to get used to the thumb speed control for super smooth pushing and pulling my boat trailer. I was very impressed with how easy it was to connect, operate and move my boat trailer in and out of my Garage. Thank you Jeff Sawlor for driving up to Brampton and giving me a demo of how to use this amazing power dolly. I'm SOLD! It's the Easiest to use power trailer dolly on the market.
