We bought a used MH, privately, and the tow dolly was thrown in with the deal.
When we are camping, I am not crazy about the dolly sitting there. DH could probably push in under the back of the MH, but he doesn't.
On the other hand, the tow dolly comes in handy when the one of the grandkids' cars breaks down. My son uses the tow dolly to get the cars home to work on them.
There are some places you cannot go with a tow dolly. On NJ Turnpike a MH may only tow a vehicle with all 4 down - No tow dollies or piggybacks.
Personally I think I'd rather have the tow bar. But then again, if you change vehicles, there is added expense of having the components installed on the car.
Probably 6 of one, and half a dozen of the other.
