A trailer can be backed up easily. With a dolly or flat-towing I'm assuming you can't back up if/when needed without first disconnecting car. Is that right? And if so, is it a major issue or am I thinking it's worse than it is?
I agree that trailer storage, both at home or at site while camping, could become a pain. I'm guessing this subject has been discussed extensively in this forum already, so I should probably do a search to learn more. On the surface I like the idea of either towing a compact manual transmission flat, or a small trailer. The advantages of a dolly, while extremely popular, have not been as clear to me.

I didn't mention backing up: You are correct: To back up with a dolly and a 4-down toad you have to disconnect the car. So far with only 400 miles under our belt towing the car I haven't had to do so and I really don't expect to need to do so given how maneuverable the Axis is (25ft + 20 ft car+dolly is easier to steer around stuff than Daves 37ft + 20ft car).
At the campground I store the dolly just like I do in the lot: backed up underneath the rear of the Axis:
