Pretty cool, wonder what the ride would be like when the grandkid picks up the tablet to play a game…

Am I the only one that thinks this is a horrible idea? Not only will the price be absurd but have you ever seen grandpa pick up a kid's RC car controller? This things going through the electrical box and into the nearest tree.

You can do this with pretty much any trailer with the Trailer Valet.
https://trailervalet.com/rvr/
Costco has had some of the manual and smaller remote units on sale recently.



I can see it being worthwhile if you have room to store your trailer on your property but the layout makes it impossible to make sharp turns with a tow vehicle.



It would have come in handy for me a couple weeks ago leaving my friend's back yard. Another camper had me blocked where I couldn't turn around so I had to back out about 200 feet through a very narrow access with lots of brush hiding stumps. The backup camera with a couple guides made it work though.

Purple Line has been making remote controlled trailer movers for years, I seriously looked into them when we were thinking about buying a travel trailer as my garage is on a blind city corner with an angled approach and narrow passage, the trailer movers would have allowed me to back it in from the street without blocking the whole intersection. You can buy a dolly but then you have to store it somewhere and if you're going to spend the money you may as well have the movers attached to the trailer and with you all the time.
