Electric Trailer Dolly?

Our HOA has asked us to screen our trailer so it can't be seen from the road. Rather than spend $$$$ on a fencing, we're considering purchasing an electric trailer dolly so we can snug our trailer up against our back retaining wall (where it won't be visible). Does anyone have any experience with these? Any advice? Thank you!!!

Power Mover AC6

Hi,

I have a Power Mover AC6 which I use with a 2014 Escape 21. It works well for me. I would add that I have a nearly level driveway which opens onto a street with a fairly low crown. I have tried using the Power Mover to put the trailer up on 1 inch leveling blocks, on my level driveway, and it cannot pull the trailer on to these. It seems like I am at the limits of this machine as configured. I posted pictures of it attached to the trailer several years ago here:

Best,

I just had to share my recent experience with the TRAX TX6000—it's been an absolute game-changer for me when it comes to maneuvering my Escape RV trailer. I've been using an old AC-style Power Caster that I inherited, but the TX6000 has completely blown me away with its ease of use and convenience when I'm not near a power cord.

One of the most significant advantages I found with the TRAX TX6000 is how effortlessly it connects to my Escape RV trailer. I was amazed at how simple it was to attach directly to the hitch of the trailer. Unlike previous methods where I had to fuss with adapters or connectors to the frame of the RV, the TX6000's direct hitch connection made the process smooth and hassle-free.

The real magic happened when I needed to navigate tight spaces, particularly in my garage and RV camping spots when I had no electricity nearby.

I cannot emphasize enough how much more convenient it has been compared to using an AC style trailer and dolly. The simplicity of the TRAX TX6000's setup and its ability to directly connect to the hitch of my trailer have made my RV experiences much more enjoyable and stress-free and better yet my neigbour is able to use it without having to drill into his chassis or buy a frame adapter.

If you value ease of connection and maneuverability in tight spaces, I highly recommend considering the TRAX TX6000. It's been a game-changer for me when parking in very tight locations or places where I'm unsure if my RV would fit or get damaged when backing up.

Happy travels!
