Another advantage of a dolly:
- If you frequently change cars (e.g. 2 or 3 year leases) you don't want to be always setting up the new car for flat-tow (the mods may even not be permissible for a lease).
- You'll have a larger selection of cars available for dolly towing than flat-towing as well (pretty much just about any front-wheel drive car can be dolly towed).
Yeah we have a dolly. I do agree flat towing is much easier, though:
- Easier to hook up, just drive up to the camper
- Don't have to store the dolly somewhere
Our dolly isn't that hard to move around, it even has a handle next to the hitch for just such a purpose (although I think it is too heavy for the DW to move around).
I usually can hook up the dolly without assistance but it does take a little bit longer.
