Tow bar? Dolly ?or enclosed trailer?

[fltrker]

We have a 40 ' Fleetwood and a 20' enclosed trailer that we load a little car and some motorcycles etc into but it presents a problem because you have to find special places to pArk or you have to pay extra to drop the trailer and the fuel economy is poor.
We have a larger car , a ford fusion and a 1/2 ton 4 door pick up truck 4wd ,both automatics.
I am wondering if I would be better off with a tow bar or a dolly instead and forget the motorcycles.
Any thoughts?

Thanks Mustang, is there a best dolly to buy and is there one that can do a 4wd 4 door F-150?

Didn't think a Fusion with automatic was tow-able 4 down. I have both, an auto hauler and a dolly. My personal choice would be the dolly and hind sight being 20/20, I'd have gotten one with a surge brake instead of the electric brake system. I find it's easier to navigate with the dolly and most of it's length stashes under the rear of the RV when disconnected at a park.

Actually the pu trk with toys in the back is a great option because I plan on going west next winter and would like to take a quad runner.
I just as soon not take any toys this winter in Florida.
Looking for the simplest and easiest way to take a vehicle.
Just not sure which is the best- tow bar or dolly. ??

If it were me and I liked my motorcycle I would set up the F150 to be towed and put the motorcycle in the back of the truck. We have a friend that does just that.

Before you tow the fusion check with Ford , some 2011 have had transmission problems after towing 4 down.

We have towed a Pontiac Sunfire for years. Automatic, four wheels down and we would never go anywhere without it following behind. It does not effect mileage when towing at all.

x2 many towing and a lift for a motorcycle
