With my Parkit 360 I had to use a rubber transition ramp to get over my surmountable curb. Even then it was a struggle as the Parkit did not have sufficient power to go up the curb. I ended up using the tow vehicle to pull the trailer tongue up onto the driveway a sufficient distance to where I could disconnect and then place the Parkit onto the Airstream. This solved this problem.

As far as the difficulty in turning the unit, I found that I could only safely turn it while it was moving. As I was learning this meant some back and forth. But after awhile I got better at planning the line I would use to move the unit and now I almost never have to turn it while stationary or do a log of jogging back and forth.

Just ordered a B3 today.

I asked them if they could install a cigarette lighter.

Be nice to use that backup camera on the AS...

FYI, I also use the ProPride hitch, therefore, needed to think about how to connect the dolly to the ProPride's hitch box on the trailer. I fabricated a custom adapter that: a) securely goes into the trailer's hitch box; and b) goes into the dolly's column pocket that normally holds the dolly's ball. The adapter works well as it eliminates the dolly's ball resulting in a much more stable dolly-to-trailer connection. A picture of the adapter is attached.

Safe travels. Dennis
Dennis, can we see pics of your Propride adapter? And any tips on how you did it?
