Maneuvering the RVR
The Trailer Valet logo on the remote control must always point toward the RVR.
Use both hands on the remote control, and hold horizontally during use.
- Forward: To move forward, in the same direction as the antenna, hold down forward button ().
- Backward: To move backward/reverse, hold down the back button ().
- Turn: To turn, hold down the forward () or backward () button while at the same time holding
down one of the turn buttons of the remote control to turn right () or left (). The RVR will
only turn if you first hold the forward or backward button, followed by a turn button.
- Stop: To stop the RVR from moving, simply release the forward or backward button.
NOTE: If your trailer has built-in brakes, they must be disengaged prior to operation of the Trailer
Valet. Consult your trailer manufacturer’s manual/instructions on temporary brake release. If this is
not available to you, please contact Trailer Valet Customer Support through phone or email for
assistance.
Deactivating the RVR
- The RVR shuts off automatically after 3 minutes of inactivity.
- Manually shutoff by pressing the start/stop button to disconnect the power on the RVR. Turn off
the Remote Control LED light by holding down the Right Button (), and then pressing the left
button() at the same time
Detaching the RVR
It is important that you always detach the RVR after use and place it in the storage box/bag
together with the remote control.
When you have finished towing the trailer and you want to disconnect the RVR, activate your
trailer brake or place wheel chucks and adjust your trailer jack so that the trailer is slightly elevated.
This takes the weight off the RVR.
If mounted with the bracket, remove the cotter ring and use the remote control to move the RVR
out of the lock fitting (or pull it out manually).
If mounted with the hitch ball, loosen the hitch locking nut before releasing the coupler latch. Raise
the trailer tongue above the hitch and use the remote to move the RVR away from the trailer.
WARNING: Never leave the RVR mounted to the trailer while towing the trailer behind a vehicle.
Cleaning
If you have used the RVR in wet or dirty conditions, you can clean it in the following manner:
Remove pebbles, clay, grass, and the like from the belts. Then give it a gentle cleaning using a small
amount of clean water and a brush or cloth. Do not use soap or cleansing agents or a high-pressure
cleaner.
Storage
Put the RVR in the transport box/bag delivered from the factory. If the storage box/bag should
become damaged, discard it. Store the RVR in dry, frost-free conditions.
Do not store the RVR in direct sunlight or at high temperatures. High temperatures may drain the
battery quickly.
Maintenance
The RVR should be operated at least every other month in order to keep the battery healthy.
If the RVR goes unused for more than two months, it is highly recommended that you operate the
RVR for a short while and then charge the battery until the LED on the charger turns green, in order
to maintain maximum battery life and performance.
