Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is an extremely useful tool. I will use this dolly to move a 1,300 pound pop-up, camping trailer (A-liner Scout) into a tight-fitted garage space. The space is too tight to back up into safely while attached to my truck. With this dolly, I can easily maneuver and steer our camper by hand into an exact spot. I'm 5'6" and 150 lbs, and this dolly makes light work of an otherwise risky approach. I think the metal frame work of the dolly is well built. It feels solid. The handle grips are not secured well and they move around and feel cheap but I don't believe it will matter in the long run. Even if the grips fall off, I can wear gloves or use tape to cover the grip area. The tires are not going to last forever but they are easy to replace. The tires have an extremely strong smell that hits you immediately upon opening the box. The smell dissipated in a few days but it did stink up my garage for a bit. I wouldn't want to have that odor lingering in my living space - especially if my wife was around. You might want to be careful where you open this package. I read a review about someone getting their head smacked after the dolly handle rotated and hit them forcefully. I have to think that securing the tongue latch on the trailer to the receiver on the dolly might have prevented this but I can't be certain. When this dolly was weighted, I made certain to keep my hands on the handles at all times. Because of that story about someone's injury, I paid attention to the fulcrum and potential energy that might enable this to dolly to get out of control. I never felt unsafe while using this. The dolly came with a 1 7/8" ball receiver which was not the size I needed - however it was easy to run to an auto parts store and get the 2" size I needed. Be aware that receivers come in different stem lengths and you'll need the shortest version to fit well on this dolly. A long-stemmed receiver will hit the bolt below the mounting point and may not fit. I had to return the first one (pictured) that I bought for this reason. There were printed instructions that came with the dolly, however they were only slightly helpful. I did a lot of looking at the pictures on the box and in the diagram to make sense of the assembly instructions. The assembling took me about 30 minutes but could have easily been done faster by someone smarter. I found all the correct hardware to be included in the box and all of the drilled holes lined up as they should (despite what I read about in other reviews). Considering the affordable price of this compared to other trailer dolly models, I'm pretty pleased. This dolly will get the job done for me. It's affordable, mostly well-built and will probably last a long time. (No one paid me a cent to write this review - I hope you find it helpful.)
