The benefit of hauling a car on a trailer is you're not wearing out the car's tires, suspension and brakes. Trailer tires and brakes are alot cheaper to replace. The trailer can also haul other cargo items in addition to the car, such as fire wood, gas can, chairs, table, bicycles, motorcycle, etc etc etc. The trailer is also multi-purpose, you can use it for hauling a myriad of other things at home when not traveling.
Trailers are also easy to back up. Tow dolly with car on it is very difficult to impossible in some situations to back up without jack knifing it.
The benefit of using a 2-wheel dolly is it's alot smaller than a trailer and easier to store at home when not traveling, as well as easier to store and park at a campground. An able bodied person can wheel it around the yard or campsite by hand. Can't do that with a trailer.
Surprisingly, 2 wheel tow dollies with brakes are not much less money to buy than 2-axle car trailers.
