My RV weighs 4,000 pounds. If I purchase a trailer mover rated at 4,000 pounds will I be OK?
This is another one of those sometimes difficult questions like getting over a 1 concrete lip (see question 5). There are many answers to this question and the quick answer would be in a perfect world . . .yes and in the real world absolutely not!. So what do we mean by the phrase in a perfect world. Lets try and explain it this way. If you store your RV in your garage for instance, and if you have an absolutely flat driveway at your garage entrance, if you have exactly the correct tire pressure in your RV tires, if you have unloaded everything that did not come with the RV originally (groceries, water, kids toys, etc.) you will in all likelihood be able to use a 4,000 pound capacity machine to move your 4,000 pound RV into your garage. That would be a perfect world. But why take the risk to save a few dollars? Ok, we admit that was a simplistic answer because none of us live in a perfect world. Now, lets look at the real world. The real world is a world filled with variables, unknowns
