The Acme has surge breaks which can be locked off for backing up. We are purchasing one and they are on sale right now for $1,200. I looked at the Demco and it is nice but it can't stand up on end so will take up more room in the garage. It also costs twice as much.

In order to be able to stand it up, you will need 4"x4" blocks. This is so the lighs won't be crushed.

If I might ask did you make your purchase of the Acme product and are you satified? I'm currently looking and so far my first choice is the Acme Tow Dolly. Probably will make the purchase next week.

Yes,we purchased one back in April. Used it in May to tow to Destin Florida and back.. About 1200 miles round trip. Worked great. I've never used a tow dolly before and I was nervous about it the first few hours. But after a few adjustments and figuring it all out, it was great and no issue at all. Without rushing, we can have the car loaded and ready to go in 10 minutes or less. When we got to our site at Destin, I unhooked the dolly and pushed it to the back of the site. The car was already unloaded near the front entrance of the campground. Then I was able to back the RV over the top of the dolly to just about the tire fenders. My wife guided me and made sure I didn't hit the dolly. A good bit of the dolly was covered by the RV. People mention about not having a place to put the dolly on site. You will have to be in already tite site to not be able to store. And like I said, yo can store it in upright position, which will leave you needing less than 2' of space for it. Which is not much more than what you need to back over it.

If you are able to pick it up from them at the manufacturer, do so. They are very thorough and helpful when going over it with you.
