Will this completely immobilize a trailer? I have a problem with someone moving my trailer a few feet because they don't like where I park it.

Depends on how much torque they are able to move your trailer with. Would take a whole lot. This thing is a a great deterrent.

If you use 4 of them yes in a sense. If they're just using their F150 to shove it a few feet, then that's a totally different matter. If you want to be able to keep your wheels from turning, then this is your answer. I'd look into prevention methods if you know who's doing it.

Hi Colleen,I don't see why not. We never had any one person get towed. I'm thinking it might make it tow a little crooked because the weight isn't distributed or centered. sorry I couldn't help you more.

It can move in intervals of 1.5 inches, and can move a maximum of 8.5 inches from highest to lowest setting. I have mine on its highest setting, and it levels out my 6,000 lb trailer with my low rear end on a Ford F-250 perfectly! Hope this helps

I believe that as long as you store this unit without tipping it on its sides, the movement while driving itself won't affect your ability to use it. Leave it on its feet when you store it in your RV.

You didn't list the size and weight of your trailer so I'll answer your question in general terms. This hitch with our large Travel trailer works great so I would assume it would work just as well on an empty trailer. As for the weight distribution its a built in part of the hitch system. The anti-sway and weight distribution system work in concert with each other when you connect the hitch. You can contact Andersen directly if you need more info.

I don't know about that, but I do know that it does not lift high enough to get a wheel off and back on. I corrected that by putting a 2" x 8" board under it. The "Trailer Aid Plus" has four bolt heads on the bottom, and I drilled 4 corresponding holes in the board so it will set in and not slide off. Haven't had to use it yet, but should work now.

I can see no reason why it wouldn't the only problem that I could see that might be an issue would be the audio which would actually beep faster and faster as you got closer to the trailer tongue and the it would go to a solid sound as your pickup up bed and the trailer hitch got closer for alignment. You would kinda be defeating the purpose of the audio which tells you how close you are to another object, and there isn't any switches that you can turn off to eliminate the audio.

With a load of this size the handle on the dolly will allow you to control speed. The brake is not progressive - it doesn't slow down it simply locks the gear driven chain mechanism. It should lock and hold your trailer fine for a short period while you pull up your car. I have a 16' boat and it works great. Going up a gravel driveway may be a challenge depending on how compacted your surface is. On a hard surface you can use the valet to climb an incline, but loose gravel can make that difficult.

You will need to use it to raise up to the trailer. So the positions are up. Then measure and make sure your trailer is level

The answer to your question is yes & no. This fan will move hot air out of your trailer, but will only cool it to the extent of the outside air it is drawing in to replace the air it is exhausting.

No. This goes on the trailer when it is not in use to keep someone else from hooking up to it. It is nor fail-safe, especially with a small trailer. If someone wants it, they can pull it away. It just keeps them from putting it on their trailer hitch,

Probably will not work for something that you wish to remain moveable. Great something to be left in place.

This product will help stop trailer oscillations on any type of trailer. You must have a truck hitch with the small ball attachment point and you must attach another small ball (included ) to your trailer. Once this is done, you attach the sway control to you truck and trailer and tighten the control lever tight. depending on how badly you trailer can oscillate you may need two of them to control the sway. This worked very well on my 3500# trailer and completely fixed my problem of oscillation at 60 mph, allowing me to tow at the speed limit without further problems.

Yes! I too believe the rope would snap. The pulleys act as fulcrums reducing the rope strength required, but I still do not feel the rope is strong enough.However the rope is the least of the problem--the hoist is inefficient! For me it would not move a 1700 pound trailer (on wheels) up a slight grade. I believe the too small rope increases already excessive friction of this poorly constructed hoist. It can not preform as advertised!

The hitch is mounted to the rear axle, so the connection point will be about five inches closer to the ground with the smaller wheels and the bottom of the trailer will be slightly tilted forward. I do not think this is a serious problem or indeed a problem at all.

Certainly: It's small, lightweight and in use digs into both the tire and the ground/pavement to hold the trailer securely, best to have two, one in front and one behind the same wheel. I bought two pairs so I could secure both wheels of my cargo trailer. Good Luck, Glen, Michigan
