• Can I use this on a hill?

Please do not use down a hill towards you. Much like a tiny car, the trailer will overpower the trailer dolly. The brake is meant to keep the dolly from rolling out of it's storage area, not to stop a moving trailer.

15.5" to where the ball sits, 18" to the top of the ball. Ball sold separately.

Yes this dolly works with all ball sizes as long as the shank is 1" in diameter. Ball is sold separately.

• Does it come with a ball?

• Will this unit accept a 2 inch ball??? Is it easy to move this up slight incline into garage?

It will have no problem going up a slight incline. If you are using it on a decline, we do not recommend trying to stop your trailer with this. It will accept any size ball with a 1" diameter shank.

• Can 1 person move a 1800# teardrop trailer with this unit?

Yes! You will have no problem moving this. It has a 3,500lb tongue weight.

 

• How can I disengage electric brakes so I can move my trailer with the dolly?

A trailer with surge brakes cannot be backed up without inserting a pin in the neck of the trailer. When the tow vehicle is in reverse, pushes in on the trailer neck, which would activate the surge brakes. Inserting a pin in the neck of the trailer prevents this from happening while the driver is backing up. If the pin is left in the neck of the trailer, the surge brake will be disabled. The pin must be removed when the vehicle is ready to travel

 

• Can I use this on 19 foot bass boat on a cement garage floor even if we need to turn it into a corner with a tandem axle trailer?

• Is this easy to back up?

Yes! When pushing into the trailer, use the back rubber bumper to keep the weight on the rear wheels and the dolly stable. Do not bring handle towards you while trying to push back.
