I guess that's for people who have trouble backing up a trailer in close quarters.
The #1 trailer related accident happens when parking or backing.
I guess it would work on a boat also?
Yes, ANY trailer up to about 2500 lbs.
How steep of a grade will it climb?
It has more power than traction. It will climb a steeper paved surface than it will a dirt road. It will climb a fairly steep incline.
Does it have brakes also?
Yes! Simply stop, and the wheel locks.
Can it move a bumper tow travel trailer?
If it is under 2500 lbs YES!

Congratulations on the progress you've made. I think you've got a fantastic product and it's sure to become a classic among RV and trailer owners. Amazing. Can't believe someone didn't invent this sooner! I think you're on the road to fame and fortune and RV'ers everywhere will thank you!!
Yes, it looks great! How does it do on hard gravel? Also, will it handle an incline, like a driveway, and does the motor brake the trailer when off? Thanks, VK

Keep at it and don't let the little "barriers" stop you buddy. GoodOldRVers need this!
Engineering is complete, CAD Drawings are complete, materials listing is complete and I have finished the first pilot run of 10 units.

I am waiting for some decals to be cut this week so I can dress them up before I go out and take a bunch of photos and videos but the production units are SUPER PROFESSIONAL looking and work awesome.
Changes from Prototye:
Removable, sectioned handle system. Can be made longer or shorter as desired by adding or removing sections.
Single Cable controller wires. Not the pack of wires you saw in the protoptype.
Jumper Cable type connectors to the battery
Off-Road turf type tires available as an option
LIGHER! 10 lbs. lighter than the prototype
Powdercoat finish. Billet Rim, Aluminum Handle.

Really is an amazing device. You're right, the $300 ballpark is perfect. I don't think you'll have a hard time finding VC money...particularly if you pitch potential users as U-Haul and other commercial places that need to move trailers - everyone from RV places to trailer rentals and even campgrounds who could have a couple on hand and loan or rent them out to folks. Great product! Just great!

Becky, It is the Wave 3 and works great. I have the space to put a full 25lbs tank in the closet and it gives me about two weeks on low heat. We love to keep the camper going all winter for the spir of the moment camping. This thing makes it great f…
