I tried several options, including the non motorized version but ended up with a powermover AC6. I spoke to them several times and they were happy to answer all my questions. It is worth every penny. I can position my TM within 2" of my garage on a CR-6 pad with a slight incline with one hand. They are not inexpensive, but certainly less than the cost of back surgery or a run away TM. I also modified the wiring in the PM's trailer plug to allow me to use the TM battery for the brake rather than adding an external battery.

Same mod done here. Makes it that much easier to use!

On the rare (only happened once) chance the TM batteries were low, I just plugged the TM in. Still easier than using an external battery pack.

I got very creative and ordered this from amazon and saw the frame mounting was seriously complained about in a lot of the reviews. I found the actual manufacturer of the lower motor part and they had an adapter to replace on the shaft and had a cup that the jack column set in same as the wheel adapter that comes with it. That made it worthwhile and even moved it on dirt and grass due to the tongue weight being pretty high on these things with the front down a little.

I have the Parkit 360 and the Trailer Mover 550W 12V Electric Trailer Jockey Wheel.

The Parkit 360 will move the trailer over most dry surfaces and has a lot of power. The Trailer Mover will not move our TM on any over surface than dry concrete. I've gone through 2-tire treads on it because I tried to get it to push my TM up a slight grade on our concrete driveway. It's sort of a pain to install when you get home from camping and again when you are getting ready for the next campout. The good thing about it, it doesn't take up much room in the garage.

The Parkit 360.Just works. Ours has a built-in 12V car battery (and self contained charger) that I charge every 2 or 3 trips.

They are both very slow and a bit hard to navigate.

Any questions?
