tow dolly
I am thinking of getting a tow dolly but don't know which is better, one with electric brakes or surge brakes

- I have a Demco KarKaddy SS with surge brakes; have pulled it for 10 years and over 50,000 mile in all kinds of terrain (see map below). It has work wonderfully and I can pull it with any other vehicle I want as it does not require a controller.
Dave - I have an American Car Dolly and the controller is on the dolly- works great. - activated off the brake lights.No controller in the MH. Its a stout , well built dolly and I've run it thousands of miles now with no problems. I've had surge brakes on other trailers but I prefer the adjustability of electric brakes, and the ability to back the dolly up when not loaded.
- I preferred the electric brakes as I have an enclosed car trailer with electric brakes and can control the brakes from my cockpit.
- If you already have brake controller, go for eleteric brakes as that will give you control of it from your driver seat.
- Both work fine, surge is easier to hook up because with electric brakes you have to run wires from a brake controller. Our tow dolly has surge brakes.
