    Power assist for moving tandem trailers?

    Anyone have any info or input on ways to move a tandem? My driveway and garage set-up sucks but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I have purcased a set of go-jacks which work ok. I am thinking about buying one of those hand operated "tuggers" that pull you boat around. They are electric and remote controlled. Anyone ever use one? They are around $1,300.00

    If you could get your avatar model there at the house, I'm sure you could find 12 or 15 of us to come over and move it whenever you want.

    We had one at the old dealership I worked at. They work fine if you don't have any incline at all. If it's not level, then save your money.

    They work great on flat ground or if you have a very, very slight incline. But if you get it started into your garage and can get the go jacks under it you are getting rid of all the directional (scrub) resistance, and you should have no problem. Have two friends who have them one for a 28' off shore center console (110v powered) and one with a 12v system for a Z21/250.

    If that is your g/f I am guessing you DO need power assist, but doubt it has anything to do with the trailer!! ... ^5 dude....you lucky dog
