Review on 🚚 Trailer Valet TV5X LiftJack by David Burns

Revainrating 5 out of 5

HOA fine! - Leveling and stabilization

Valet was just what we needed to add our drawer to our garage. This allowed for the precise control needed for precise parking. I didn't have the skills to tip the trailer into our garage and/or move the trailer to get it in the right spot for us to accommodate our second car. It would probably take me hours to put it back in place. . We had to remove the pop up window from the yard before the HOA noticed and started fining us! :) We had to move the battery from the front position back next to our gas tank (see attached picture) but it was easy enough and the servant cut through the welded base plate that the old jack was using. Installation with battery transfer took about an hour. We couldn't get traction on grass like some other reviews had claimed. To be honest, I didn't expect it to be very soft ground in our situation and it was practically stuck in a hole. Once in the driveway it was easy to move around. We have a flat driveway so there weren't any problems with hills etc. The slight bump we need to get over the threshold of the garage requires me to put the lever on the slow link as the high speed isn't that necessary torque has over this small stroke. We also need to be careful when unrolling the trailer as the handle will spin very quickly/hard when it hits this spot. Watch your hands! An absolutely fantastic product - it also makes hitching to a car extremely easy. a little, no, a little more.stop.too.far.forward,.backward.

Pros
  • Patented raise and lower drive system
Cons
  • Hard to tell
