Toad on Trailer vs 4 Down
Class B (TBD - probably just a simple cargo van conversion) with 1988 GMC S15. S15 (2700#) is short wheelbase, automatic, 2wd (V8 conversion). Trailer (1560#) is 16' car hauler, wood deck. Question...

Any real world experience for rearward dolly towing?
Caster on an S15 is about 3*. If you raise the rear 12" with a 108" wheelbase, that's a 6* rise and changes the caster to -3*. If you tow backwards then the caster is back at the original 3* positive. So no issue?
Is the steering column lock sufficient to hold the wheels in the straight ahead configuration?
By the way, I appreciate all the comments as its giving me additional things to consider.
Decades back I owned/drove tow trucks. Always more stable when hooked to front.
I always used a rope to hold the wheel, was afraid of damage if trusted the lock.
