I use a Kar Kaddy car dolly. Hook it to the coach like any other trailer. Drive the car up the ramps, throw the tiedowns over the 2 tires and winch down (no extra tools needed), attach safety chains, clip the ramp up, and go. Takes a couple of minutes and works with any car. The reverse is equally simple.
It uses a surge breaking system which, I believe, makes it legal in all states. Whenever the dolly pushes on the coach, either because I use the breaks or going down hill using engine breaking, the dolly applies its breaks. The harder it tries to press, the more the breaks are applied which reduces the load. That puts a minimal load on my coach breaks. I made NO modifications to my coach other than a normal trailer hitch with 4 wire electricals. I can, optionally add remote stop lights.
