Best tow dolly

What are your suggestions for a tow dolly, electric brakes for an older man? Will tow Fiat behind Sprinter class RV.
Thanks

EDIT-------------I should have been more thorough. I want a drive on and secure the tire type. I can't bend down to put on and remove ramps.

I will have a trailer ball on the Fiat for moving it about if I can't place it with the RV.

I purchased a 80" this morning with electric brakes. I have a brake controller that I can install.

I searched and didn't see any. That is my only option or I continue to tow my Tracker flat footed. I really want to take the Fiat though.


DEMCO Kar Kaddy has a tilt bed. No ramps to remove. The tilt bed has a spring loaded latch, no pin to remove or potentially lose.
I have seen used ones for $1000 (often no brakes) to $1900 (surge brakes)

I have a Master Tow 80THD with surge brakes and turn table. Around $1800.00 new. The surge brakes work great, and no hookup required, except for lights. The Fiat is a small car, so the 77" might be a better (cheaper) choice.

IMO, the DEMCO Kar Kaddy SS is without a doubt the best of the best when it comes to car dollys. Yes, they are expensive. I recently saw a used one, with surge brakes, that they were asking $1900 for. A new one is about $4000.
The American dolly is a nice one. It has electric brakes and turn table steering, and is about $1500 delivered to your door. BUT, it has removable ramps.
I would not consider any dolly that does not have some means of steering, whether king pin (DEMCO) or turn table (American, Master Tow, and others). No matter what hype their advertising puts out, an unsteerable dolly will never be in my yard!

I’ve owned 2 Master Tow dollies, both with electric brakes. Never had a problem and found them easy to strap down a car. I did balance their tires, though. Found they towed so much better, especially when empty.
