Thank you all for the very insightful remarks on this subject. After a lot of research we have come to the conclusion that dolly towing provides the most flexible and cost effective solution to our needs. Although flat tow might be a little easier it seems to be much more costly especially if we trade "toads" after spending $4,000 to $5,000 for set up (that is what we have been quoted by two different RV shops). We have found very few vehicles that we like that can be flat towed and then there is the hassle of running the vehicle every six hours even if we did find one. Its obvious from the number of flat tows that we see out there that many have found a way to deal with all the issues but we just don't see it as a solution to our application.
just so you know...Jeeps have no time/distance/mileage restrictions. most models can be flat towed as long as it has a manually selectable neutral position in the transfer case. but if you're going to go with a dolly be sure to know your weights and weight ratings before you commit to buy.
