Tow Dolly - newbie recommendations

I have a 2014 Bounder 34B with towing capacity of 5,000lbs. I have a small front wheel drive Volkswagen CC (3,300lbs) that I intend to tow on a tow dolly. What are some of the suggested brands, not necessary the best, that I can use for a few trips a year. I am not a full timer or retired so I don't see the justification to spend a lot. Also, what about electric brakes vs disk brakes. Is the vehicle light enough for a dolly w/out brakes....by guess is no.

opinions on Stehl Tow Model ST80TD or other model?

Thanks

    American Tow Dolly (google it)
    Any dolly with steering, either turntable or kingpin. Kingpin steering (DEMCO Kar Kaddy) is pricey, but quite possibly the best there is.
    Personally, and just my opinion, but I would never buy a dolly that didn't have some type of steering. As I indicated, either turntable or kingpin. I would never buy a fixed frame dolly. I know, some people have them and swear by them.
    I don't care, I would never buy one!
    Electric brakes, surge brakes, or no brakes is pretty much up to you.
