One inportant thing is to stop after 10 to 15 miles and check the straps on the toad, quite often I can tighten up the tie down straps an additional couple of clicks. and if your TM Dolly didn't come with the safety chains, get some Don't let 10.00 dollars worth of chain and hooks ruin a great trip. The surge brakes are great to have, no electric brakes problems. The DW and I upgraded to a MS Tow dolly with the surge brake option, and can really feel the difference with them.

Also note that the dolly might have (probably has) zerks to grease. My manual says to grease them every 2,500 miles. I just learned that on this forum a couple days ago.
