Thinking of renting a dolly from U-Haul to tow a car from Maine to Florida this fall. We've never towed before, so pardon us if this is a really stupid question. But--once you get the car off the doll...
Since you've never towed before you need to be much more aware of streets you travel on since you can't back up. It's one thing to get in a situation where you have to unhook to get out and another to get in a situation where you have to unhook and are blocking traffic. I have the same awareness with my flat tow.
