Yes, I installed a quattro titanium on my trailer as I'm getting older (70), my wife died last year, so I don't have help getting the trailer attached, backing back in etc, had both knees replaced in April this year and so not up to handling the trailer on a sloping yard any-more. It is an expensive option, but I can use my trailer easily now, 'walking' it back into the driveway and yard. Had to shorten the cross bars that came with the kit (easy to do with drop saw) as designed for minimum width of 1800mm and my trailer is only 1700mm. My brother helped me install it. In addition to the kit from Quattro, you'll need a box to store a battery, the cables and to mount the controller (and keep the bits that might get lost otherwise), and a battery (and charger if you don't have one). You can't skimp on the battery - the motors do draw a lot of power, with maximum current draw supposed to be 76A. Try to get at least around 150Ah battery (2 x current draw), and even this won't last that long when moving the trailer. I moved the spare wheel to the side of the trailer and installed the box where the spare wheel was. It moved a very full trailer up a grass slope, and moves the trailer easily up the front driveway, which has reasonable slope. Very happy with it so far.
Im wondering if this will work with a 1500kg trailer on a sloping driveway? The slope is about 20 degrees.

Love love love the idea but my caravan only cost me $3,500 so not for me.
If I had a $100,000 van I'd be in 👍
