I have the Trailer Valet and generally like it. I have the mounting bracket attached to the A-frame of the tongue and it doesn't seem to interfere with the WDH bars. I keep the TValet in my TV and it quickly attaches to the trailer.
I try to use the TValet cranked as much as I can in the lowest position. This minimizes the "moment arm" (twisting) along a horizontal axis while moving.
As you suspected, it turns much sharper in one direction than the other (depending on the side that it's mounted).
I find it really handy for final positioning the trailer and when moving the trailer over the TV ball.
Unfortunately, I don't have much sandy soil around my parts to test things out for you Padgett. I've only used it on gravel and concrete so far. I suspect it'll work OK on grass but probably require the use of the "low gear".
