When you go to MLB games in big cities how do you know where the motorhome parking is? Do you reserve a spot before you go or wing it ? Thank you.

they wanted $5200 installed for that.

If you go with a tow dolly they will run you $1000 to $2000 depending
on if you buy new or used. At a campground you will need to unload the car from the dolly then unhitch the dolly and manually move it into the
camp space before you back the MH into place.

Flat towing a car you can not back up unless you unhitch.

Tow dolly really has the same problem.

So you need to know where you are going so you do not end up on a
dead end road.
Yes, you can buy an ACME with surge brakes for about $1,900 or so, or spend another $1,000 for a Demco KarKady SS but having owned the Demco and presently towing a Chevy Spark stick shift with all four wheels down, I would never want to go back to a dolly. ESPECIALLY if the car you want to load on a dolly has low ground clearance. Don't even ask how I know, but it was a very expensive lesson.
