Trailer Valet RVR5 Electric Trailer Mover

Moving your RV, boat trailer, or cargo trailer can be an arduous task. Manual trailer movers and dollies require you to bend over and move the trailer either by hand or by turning a manual hand crank. Electric trailer movers remove the physical exertion, but they still require you to manually steer your trailer with a handle, which requires strength and a second person to be a spotter.


The remote-controlled RVR robot removes those hassles and frustrations. With the RVR5, you can move your trailer with the push of a button. No physical exertion is required. Thanks to the wireless, handheld remote controller, moving your trailer is now a 1-person job. The remote control's 40' range lets you freely walk around your trailer while relocating it, ensuring that you have the best viewing angle as you go around corners and maneuver your trailer into tight spaces.


Operation with the Wireless Remote Controller

Trailer Valet RVR5 Wireless Remote Controller

The RVR's wireless remote controller has a simple layout featuring forward/back and right/left buttons. Once your trailer's coupler is secured on the RVR's hitch ball, hold down the "up" arrow button to move forward, and hold down the "down" arrow to move backward. To turn the RVR, hold down the "up" or "down" button while also pressing either the "left" or "right" arrow button, depending on the direction you want to move your trailer.


The RVR can be used to move your trailer up slopes or inclines of no more than 5 degrees. When using the RVR robot to move your trailer up an incline, the RVR must push the trailer up the slope. When going down an incline, the RVR must lead, or pull, the trailer down the slope.


 RVR5 Remote Battery Indicator

With a full charge, the RVR has a runtime of approximately 30 minutes, which allows for plenty of time to relocate your trailer. The remote control includes a battery indicator that will let you know when the RVR's battery is running low and needs to be recharged. To conserve the battery, the unit automatically shuts itself off after being idle for 3 minutes. The charger is included and connects to standard 2-prong outlets. The unit takes 5 to 6 hours to fully recharge.


360 Degrees of Motion

Trailer Valet RVR5 Motorized Trailer Mover

The RVR5 is built with 4 planetary gear motors that can move both single- and tandem-axle trailers. The independently operated motors allow for 360 degrees of motion, providing you with complete control and maneuverability when moving your trailer.


Heavy-Duty Rubber Treads

Trailer Valet RVR5 Rubber Treads

The heavy-duty caterpillar treads allow the RVR to handle a variety of terrain, including asphalt, gravel, grass, and dirt. The 2" wide rubber treads enable the RVR to move easily from one type of surface to another.


Hooking Your Trailer up to the RVR

Trailer Valet RVR5 Install

With the included base tower and interchangeable 2" and 2-5/16" hitch balls, it's easy to hook your trailer up to the RVR5. Just connect your coupler to the RVR's hitch ball, and then use the included spanner wrench to tighten the locking nut and secure it against the coupler. This will ensure that the ball doesn't slip out of the coupler during operation. Then you're ready to go.

Works great. Made a platform dolly to pull it to the trailer. It then rolls off and I attach to trailer. Turn and back trailer into place. Not fast but works. Be sure it is attached to trailer properly. I like the remote control so I can watch the rear of the trailer since I have a narrow spot.



by:

It pulls my trailer on the flat, but no good on a grass incline.That part I have to use a manual dolly and pull hard to get it onto the hard standing again.



by:

I recently had a leg injury and needed a better way to move my trailer out of storage and into a position where I could hitch it up to my tow vehicle. Lakieya was so helpful both on the online chat and also on the phone. Etrailer’s staff are always so helpful when I call. The Trailer Valet is well built and very sturdy. Can’t wait to try it out.



by:

A little pricey and large for transporting to campsites, but great for moving trailer into tight storage space.

It is a life-saver for an old man



by:

It works fine on very level ground. It has a hard time if there are cracks in your cement where it has to pull your trailer over if they are 1/4 of an inch high. It will become on stable on the treads. I have the 5500 LB unit my trailer is 2700 LBs It is not the power it is the stability on the treads.

Moving a high end 30ft Tri-Toon around in tight spaces is easy.

We continue to use the trailer valet to move our 30 tri-toon into tight parking spaces. Excellent product.

My item (RVR5) was received yesterday. One day early. Can't wait to use it. However, I am missing the spanner wrench. I think it will prove to be the answer to my issues.

Definitely an important tool! I will have our customer service team reach out to you about this.



by:

Want the whole campground to be jealous? Break out this thing! It works exactly as advertised. Moves my 25ft coleman lantern comfortably on asphalt, crushed gravel, and cement. Also handles my 15ft utility trailer with easy. Even on soft grass. It's super expensive but not over priced in my opinion. The peace of mind it gives me when I'm heading to unfamiliar campgrounds is priceless.



by:

Great product, FAST delivery, a bit costly. Packing box for unit was missing a hook spanner wrench. Called etrailer and was told a replacement would be sent out.



by:

Works perfect on hard surfaces only.



by:

Makes trailer parking a breeze. Wish I’d found it earlier.



by:

Lots of different uses. Have a big pull behind leaf vacuum that I made an adapter so the valet can drive it along the shrubs etc without the mower

See what our Experts say about this Trailer Valet Trailer Dolly

  • Will The Trailer Valet RVR Work With a Tandem Axle Pontoon Boat Trailer?
    When using the Trailer Valet with a tandem axle trailer it is recommended to use the Trailer Valet Trailer Wheel Dollies # TV56FR under the rear wheels. The dollies will provide you with much better turning radius, as the tires will try and bind up when taking sharp turns otherwise. I see you were looking at the RVR3 # TVRVR3-BB225 which is only rated for a trailer up to 3,500lbs with 165-350lbs of tongue weight. If your trailer and pontoon weight more than 3,500lbs together you will...

  • Whats Included in the Limited Warranty of the Trailer Valet Remote Controlled Trailer Dollies
    The warranty for the Trailer Valet RVR5, part # TVRVR5, includes a 1-year limited warranty. It covers any manufacturer defects with material or assembly. Wear and tear, damage from use, or damage from improper maintenance/repair are not covered. I've taken these from the installation details that I've linked to below. In it, Trailer Valet lists how to contact them to make warranty claims. For your particular trailer, I recommend the RVR3, part # TVRVR3. This is a step below the RVR5 in...

  • Trailer Valet RVR5 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly & Exposed Elements
    While the Trailer Valet RVR5 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly, # TVRVR5 is a well built unit it is also heavy in electronics and you should avoid getting this wet by leaving in the exposed elements. I suggest you consider the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive, # TVXL2. While I still would place a cover over this when not being used, it can be stored outside. This functions well with the supplied hand crank but you do have the option of using a drill to convert this to a...

  • Do Trailer Valet Remote-Controlled Trailer Dollies Have Internal Brakes
    Yes both of the Trailer Valet Remote-Controlled Trailer Dollies # TVRVR5 and # TVRVR3 have internal brakes that are automatic. What this means is that unless you are intentionally moving them they will not move or roll. The 5 is just as ball mount application.

    The Trailer Valet RVR3 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly - Wireless Remote - 3,500 lbs # TVRVR3 you referenced has a tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs max. The mounting bracket with attach directly to your trailer tongue and has a quick release cotter ring pin that will help it easily attach to the remote base as needed.

  • Availability of Individually Controlled 4-Jack RV Leveling System
    I believe you're looking for something like the Lippert 3.0 Ground Control 3.0 system. Unfortunately, Ultra-Fab doesn't offer a product that would allow you to individually control 4 separate jacks. The only product we offer that would do that is the # LC358590 Ground Control 3.0. Another option would be to use two of the Ultra-Fab # UF39-941705 Power Twin II, but you'd also need leveling blocks like # A10-0918 because both feet on each stabilizer jack are controlled at the same height.

  • Comparing Trailer Valet RVR5 and RVR12 For Moving Trailers Around On Dirt Inside an Arena
    For your trailer and situation I recommend the Trailer Valet RVR12 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly # TV59FR. This dolly is rated for trailers with a tongue weight up to 1,200lbs and a trailer weight up to 12,000lbs. Your trailer has a maximum trailer weight of 7,000lbs and with the large tool box on the front it likely has a large tongue weight percentage. The rubber treads can handle asphalt, gravel, grass, and dirt surfaces with ease. Best of all this unit has 3 speed options to increase...

  • Compatibility of TVRVR5 Trailer Valet Trailer Dolly With 3500 lb Airstream Travel Trailer
    A brake controller is used while towing a trailer, not while you're jockeying it around into a parking spot or grarage. Newer Airstream travel trailers would be equipped with electric brakes, so you wouldn't have a surge brake coupler and a reverse lockout to worry about. The Trailer Valet # TVRVR5 remote controlled trailer dolly would be an excellent choice for shuffling your Airstream around in a tight area. The dolly can handle trailers weighing up to 5500 lbs with tongue weights up...

  • Recommended Trailer Valet for 5,000 Pound Trailer on Sloped Driveway
    In order to take your trailer down your driveway I recommend the Trailer Valet RVR5 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly - Wireless Remote - 5,500 lbs # TVRVR5. However, you will need to find out the actual slope in order to verify if this will work for you. The instructions state " DO NOT use the RVR on slopes and inclines exceeding a strict maximum of 5 degrees on a paved/concrete surface." If it is 5 degrees or less you will be able to use this without any issues. If it exceeds 5 degrees...

  • Recommended Remote Control Trailer Dolly for Incline on Driveway and 5K Trailer
    If your trailer is 5,000 when you are wanting to move it then you can use the Trailer Valet RVR5 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly # TVRVR5 which is rated for 5,500 lbs. If you are wanting to move your trailer and that weight exceeds the 5,500 lb mark then you need the RVR9 instead which is part # TVRVR9 and rated for 9K. I reached out to my contact at Trailer Valet who said that their RVR dollies can operate with up to a 5 degree incline. I have attached some review videos that you can...

  • How to Find Driveway Slope for Trailer Valet TVRVR5 Remote Control Trailer Mover
    Our price for the Trailer Valet RVR5 (our part number is # TVRVR5 ) is listed on the product page which I've linked for you. To determine the driveway slope, get a carpenter's level and lay it on the driveway. On the low side, pick up that end (leaving the other end touching the driveway) and slowly raise it until it's level. Then, measure downward from the high end of the level until you touch the driveway. To find the slope, divide the height from the ground to the level by the length...

  • How Steep of a Driveway can the Trailer Valet TVRVR5 Handle With a 3,500 Pound Trailer?
    The Trailer Valet RVR5 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly - Wireless Remote # TVRVR5 will have a 5,500 pound weight capacity, with a 550 tongue weight capacity, so it will definitely handle your boat and trailer. However, the # TVRVR5 can only operate with inclines on 5 degrees. As long as you make sure to disconnect at the shallower angled part of your driveway, you will be good to go. The included remote control that comes with the # TVRVR5 also makes maneuvering the trailer significantly...

  • Will the Trailer Valet RVR5 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly Work In Grass
    Yes, the Trailer Valet RVR5 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly part # TVRVR5 does work on grass although the harder the ground is, the better the dolly will work. For example, if it just rained and the ground was soft and mushy then it probably wouldn't be a great idea to use the dolly but for most other conditions it will work great. We don't have any demo videos used in grass at this time.

  • Can I Use the Trailer Valet Wheel Dollies with the RVR5 Remote Controlled Trailer Dolly
    Yes. You can use the Trailer Valet # TV74FR with your Trailer Valet RVR5 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly - Wireless Remote - 5,500 lbs # TVRVR5 to help fight some of the drag you'd otherwise get with both axles trying to maneuver the trailer. We actually did a great video on this using a regular Trailer Valet but the remote controlled one would work just the same, which I've linked to this answer, but it's exactly what you're looking for.

  • Trailer Dolly Options for a 4,500 lb Travel Trailer
    If you are looking for something that stays permanently attached to the trailer then the only thing we have is the Trailer Valet 5X # STC-V211 because it mounts directly to the frame and has a swivel feature for when you are traveling. You can also use the drill attachment # TVDA to help make moving the trailer easier/quicker. This has an automatic brake as well but the max tongue weight capacity if 500 lbs so if your will exceed that at all then you need to upgrade. Aside from this you'll...

  • Can the Trailer Valet RVR5 # TVRVR5 Move Over a 2 Lip between My Garage and Driveway?
    Great question! I went ahead and reached out to my tech at Trailer Valet, and he confirmed that you can use the RVR5 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly # TVRVR5 with a 2" lip between your garage and your driveway. He also said that the best way to go over the transition is to lay a sheet of plywood for the RVR5. Also, it may help to add more tongue weight to the trailer to help get more traction.

  • Will the Trailer Valet RVR5 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly Work with a CruiseMaster Coupler
    The Trailer Valet RVR5 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly part # TVRVR5 is compatible with any trailer coupler which uses a 2" or 2-5/16" hitch ball. I looked up the CruiseMaster and this does not use a standard hitch ball design therefore would not be compatible. That said, there is a version of this dolly that may work better for you in the Trailer Valet RVR3 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly part # TVRVR3 since it attaches to the frame so that's what I recommend.

  • Recommended Trailer Dolly For Lowering 4,000 Pound Trailer Down a Driveway
    In order to lower your 4,000 lb trailer down your driveway the only option would be the Trailer Valet RVR5 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly # TVRVR5. This dolly can handle a trailer up to 5,500 lbs and 550 lbs of tongue weight. It also works on slopes and inclines up to 5 degrees. In order to use this dolly you would have to give up backing the trailer in, since the coupler would need to be on the downhill side.

  • Does Trailer Valet RVR5 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly # TVRVR5 Work With Trailer Electric Brakes
    The Trailer Valet RVR5 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly # TVRVR5 that you referenced will work great with a trailer that has electric brakes. Dollies do not activate trailer brakes so your electric brakes wouldn't cause any issues. This also has an internal brake built into it.

  • Battery Life and Recharge Time for the Trailer Valet RVR5 Remote Controlled Trailer Dolly
    The Trailer Valet RVR5 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly # TVRVR5 has a run time of approximately 30 minutes when fully charged. The # TVRVR5 will take 5 to 6 hours to fully recharge and the batteries are not swappable like a drill. There is rechargeable lithium-ion battery that the included charger plugs into on the # TVRVR5. I am not completely sure what you mean by 1,600 lb. bins. But the 1,600 lbs. is well within the 5,500 lb. weight capacity of the # TVRVR5.
