GlueGuy & Jato: Thank you for input. It's disappointing to hear of the "torquing out" of the coupler. Seems like both the Valet 5X (without coupler use) and the XL, if tightened to coupler as instructed would not allow for this. I don't discount your (GlueGuy) experiences however. Still, with the appearance of numerous, positive reviews, I might opt for the XL during the spring 2022. As Jato suggests, I can quickly return the item (returning within 30 days). My Rpod 179 sets in driveway, blocked, covered, winterized and happy. It's cold outside and decisions can wait. I jumped on the Valet idea upon believing a terrific Black Friday sale loomed. Checking further, no great deal - either $350 or $600 depending on Valet model. No torque on my Northern Tool three wheeled dolly with tongue weight on the 2" dolly ball. I can continue use. Not interested in higher priced movers. Thanks. Dengle

We bought something similar to the Trailer Valet from Tractor Supply to pivot the trailer inside our storage unit so we could pull it out without damaging the trailer or storage unit door frame. I had gotten it backed in kinda weird and couldn't figure out the best angle to hitch it up in order to get it out. It worked well for that, but I wouldn't want to have to move the trailer very far with for the reasons already mentioned.

If you want something done right, do it yourself.
