Wow - big difference between my trailer valet 5x and this unit!
 
Hey, i was gojng to post a thread on the RVR... also saw today as ad on beginning of a boating-related vid on YouTube!

Looks awesome, and looks to be a great option for those with flat surfaces to traverse. I would be very concerned about using this on any grades... I can picture a boat shoving this thing right across the driveway until it shredded... and then the boat picking up speed and...

Cool tech, regardless.

Yeah, I think the ad I saw showed a max grade of 5%.
 
Looks pretty sweet. About $4,000 more than I am willing to spend to move my trailer though lol.
 
Just saw the ad on YouTube, looks cool.
 
I have the hand-powered model and it has been useful several times. Don't know that I would trust this one not to shred. What is the failsafe? With the manual one, if things get out of hand, you drop the handle and it locks the unit (and stops the boat). Not sure what happens with this one if the grade is too great or something...
 
It would be cheaper to buy a beater 4 wheeler and mount a ball to the front and back.
