That model looks exactly like the one else I have now.
Bought it at Princess Auto a few years ago.

Yes, got the trailer dolly on sale, about the same price as your Harbour Freight.
It works perfectly on a level surface... but pushing uphill..or trying to prevent a runaway on a downhill slope..not so much for my 2000 pound rig.
I sometimes get the wife behind the boat helping to push but am concerned for her safety if I lost control.

On a downhill slope use wheel chocks. Have one person at the tongue and the other moving chocks. By
'walking' it downhill, you'll both be much safer. Using the tongue, take the pressure off one chock.
Then let that wheel roll back by moving the tongue to that side of the trailer. Then chock that
wheel. Remove chock from other wheel, move tongue to that side of trailer, then chock the wheel.
Each of these maneuvers moves the trailer back a couple feet. This way works very well, although
maybe not as fast as with large, expensive electric tongue dolly.

I suppose the same procedure could be used to move the rig up a slight incline..3 to 5 degrees but I wouldn't want to travel too far.

You don't have to, dummy.

Works both ways. Each swing of the tongue should get you a couple feet, and it's not a whole lot of
effort.
