Why do you have to start the crv after 500mi.?

I haven't towed any dinghy, so I'm like a virgin trying to imagine sex. Actually, I have test-towed with a dolly for a few miles. But never flat towed at all.
So, it seems like the time and trouble to load, unload, and store a dolly might not be any worse than flat-tow hooking, brake system setup, unhooking, stowing equipment AND required mid-day startups. (I know only some toads require the periodic starts.)
All of what you describe takes all of 15 minutes total for hooking/unhooking. It takes me five minutes to connect to my Blue Ox tow bar, attach safety cables and umbilical. Setting the Patriot brake box takes five minutes. Unhooking takes about the same amount of time. I have watched people with dollies and it takes them far longer.
Starting the car and running takes the five minutes recommended in the manual.
To me the big difference between dolly and four down is the dirt factor. You stay much cleaner by not having to wrap safety straps around dirty/wet tires or having to lift/drag the heavy dolly.
