I have back issues, and by the time I got it loaded and crawled around looking for a place to attach the safety chains, then unloaded,I was hurting. I'm hardheaded and though I'd be ok once I got on the road, but I had to turn around and come back home after only 50-60 really Painful miles, and cancel our first Beach trip in our Class A.
Anyone us a tow dolly, without the chains from car, to the dolly ?



Hi There


We have a Kar Kaddy SS and have used it a couple times. First with our Honda Odyssey, I took a sales person's word for it that we would have no issues. The van was 1 inch wider than max spec. So the fenders rubbed our splash guards (no biggie). The larger issue was the owner (me) not checking that the ramps were locked before unloading. It turns our they can move a little in transit. So as I pulled off it allowed the wheels to drop a little too soon and caught the plastic under-body parts and almost removed our front bumper. The return trip was fine. We have also pulled our CT-200h without issue. Over all it's great and folds nicely for a smaller footprint when stored. Yes, it's costly but so far we like the flexibility. As far as safety tie-down we loop the changes over the lower suspension with no issue. If there is a strap failure you will likely have larger problems than a tweaked suspension to worry about.


Enjoy your travels!!
