Yes they are small tires and thus turn a bit faster. Whenever we stop I usually do a walk around making sure everything is ok. Part of that is feeling the wheel hubs on the dolly to make sure they aren't overheating--so far they never get too hot to touch; just lukewarm. They also use some really tough tires--I don't expect these to have any issues.

It appears from their site that they are all 102 inches wide and can handle vehicles up to 79 inches wide from tire outside to outside (if I read specs/FAQ correctly), and vehicles up to 5,000 pounds as long as front axle is no more than 3,000 pounds.
For smaller cars like Ford Fiesta, Focus, or Honda Fit it would seem larger than ideal. I have a hard time thinking of the dolly being wider than the motorhome.

Yes there is only one size. It really isn't that big: Loading either the Escape or the Focus (yeah I had to try even though Ford says not to) leaves only a few inches to spare on either side.
Note that the track widths are about the same (Escape: 61.5, Focus 61.2).
It really isn't that much wider than the RV: not enough to even notice it back there--have to turn on the rear camera to see it.
