    This just came in today. It doesn't use your existing tongue coupler, rather you bolt one onto the frame. I now have both my boat and my camper in my backyard. My side yard between the house and fence has holly bushes on both sides, so both the boat and camper barely fit through there. Add my large pickup, and it is impossible to get both all the way to the back.

    I can't wait until next camping or boat trip just so I can use it again!

    You don't, you walk with it.

    It's an electric dolly. It's used to move heavy trailers into tight spots. It has a hookup to use any brakes the trailer might have.

    I could probably add a seat to it - if I lost a bunch of weight :lol:

    Instead of a seat you could add a cup holder.... ;-)

    If it wasn't for the cups, I probably wouldn't have all the extra weight :blink:

    How is it off the driveway? I would think that it would have problems in grass/wet grass

    Actually works very well. I had to move the coupler a few times on the boat trailer to find the best traction. Got it right the first time on the camper.
