Are tow Dolly's a Hassle?
I've always tow'd 4 down. I've been looking for a new car............I like SUV's and the choices that can be towed 4 down are very limited. So, I was just thinking, maybe buy a SUV that I like, ...

Yes, 4 down is easier but a dolly is not as bad as those above say.
I’ve used my Demco Karkaddy SS for 9.5 years and 51,000 miles.
1. Loading and unloading time takes about 5 minutes longer than 4 down.
2. After a little practice you can do it by yourself without much problem.
3. At 75 it is getting a little harder to move it around but still doable and with a trailer dolly even easier.
4. 99% of the time it can be stored with the tongue down under the rear of the MH.
5. As my knees get older it’s getting a little harder to get down & up to fasten the straps and chains but I use a piece of plastic to kneel on and it is still doable.
6. After I figured out how to strap the toad down (not the way the Mfg. recommends) I’ve NEVER had a problem with a loose strap.
If you’re in good health & patient during the learning curve you’ll get along fine with a dolly.

PS I too recommend the Demco Karkaddy SS dolly. It may cost a little more but it is so well built, will never rust and can be folded to home store in half its traveling length.
If you go check your local hardware or gardening store, you can probably find these little foam rubber mats with a handle that is designed for gardeners to use for their knees when tending the garden. That would probably be more comfortable then your piece of plastic.
