toad towing question

Hi, im not sure about the 2x12 id have to look at it, and to paulcardoza the van sits on the "plate" that pivots when the dolly is turned and when it pivots is when the van hits the fenders on the dolly


thanks

Hmmmmmmmm........ How does the van move independently of the dolly, for anything to rub?

ok i have a problem, mom has a 2011 dodge grand caravan and she wants to dolly it behind her motorhome.... BUT she had a "tow master" dolly and the van fit fine on the platform BUT she couldnt turn ANY corners because the fenders of the dolly would hit the doors on her van, now i loaded my full size dodge truck on the dolly and it worked fine because the fenders on the dolly went under the fenders on the truck...

Does anybody tow a 2011 dodge grand caravan ??? ive seen some on the highways but they were going the other way so i couldnt look and see what year the van was or the type of dolly they had... thanks for any help...

Well Sammy64,
I've seen no answers to your inquiry about your fender/door/sill clearance problem on your dolly so, I'll just throw my 2 cents in for the heck of it. I don't know how much it would throw the geometry of the dolly tow/carrying system off but, here's a thought. What if you put say, a section of 2x10 or 2x12 on top of where the front wheels would sit on the dolly??? Would that raise the front end of the van enough so the fenders would clear the doors/sills of the van when turning?

All it would mean would be that the front of the van sat about an inch and a half higher than it would be normally. To me, that would be no big deal at all but, I don't use a dolly so, I've not had to deal with your issues here. I certainly can't see any problem with putting a piece of 2x12x say, 12" long on each wheel platform. If it doesn't work, well, it's on to plan B.
