Trailer Valet?

I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on the Trailer Valet? I'm thinking about purchasing one.

My only thought is "What in the heck is a Trailer Valet ?"

Someone who parks and washes your trailer for you?

I looked it up!  :-)  http://www.trailervalet.com/  Apparently becoming quite popular since they are all sold out. Looks interesting...

I prefer the definition of someone who will park and wash!

Sorry, I should've included a link. Thanks threedukes.

I've never used one, so no direct experience. I do have direct experience with the fact there is a huge difference in the force required to turn a tandem axle trailer sharply compared to a single axle trailer. If your intended use is to maneuver your 14DBS with lots of sharp turns into a tight spot, I question whether the tires and mechanism on the Trailer Valet could provide enough force. By all means read some reviews on that from those who have used one before you make this kind of financial commitment.

I like the concept.  Most of the pictures I saw online had it attached to smaller boat trailers.

I bought one so I would be able to turn my trailer in the alley, so I could squeeze my trailer into its rather tight parking space.  IT works well for me.  It does require quite a bit of effort to operate, but reduces the possibility of damaging my trailer when parking it.

Thanks for opinions everyone. I think I'll save up some cash and give it a try in the next few months

No penetration of the welded seam.  It pretty much fell apart.  Lets see how warrenty goes.
