Clever trailer invention

Sorry if this is old news but it's a "Trailer Valet" to hand move a trailer for short distances, like around in the barn:

($580 at eTrailer)

IF I had to back up and pull forward as many times as they were showing in that vid, I'd want one too!

BUT I don't... I can do better than THAT, with a 4 wheel wagon!

At that price no thanks. With a backup camera I can get it the first try. In my truck that doesn't have a backup camera it takes me less than a minute to hook up a trailer.

I agree. My previous truck had no B/U camera so I bought a $50 camera and monitor that was posted on this site and installed it. Current truck came with B/U camera. First try to hook up trailer for me too. Besides, nothing posted here would handle the tongue weight of my trailers.

I kept looking for the "truck" they were going to hook up to
With a 500lb limit it doesn't do much.

Even my lawn mower trailer with the mower loaded would go over that. They had it pictured with a boat, but I'm guessing most boats are over 500 tongue weight.

I agree>Clever trailer invention, but at almost $600.00, ouch. As previously stated, trailer camera is more cost effective and they work darn good. I tried one of those cheap back cameras few year ago, it was quick to set up and small enough to be stowed in the clove-box.

I drive an SUV type vehicle.
I simply open the rear hatch and drop the back seats so that I get perfect alignment and distance every time.
