Thanks all, we're still in the process of buying our first class A and was starting to think about the toad. We were looking into getting a tow dolly and just pulling my car but in hearing the various opinions about 4 down vs. tow dolly; we're thinking 4 down might be the better option.
With a tow dolly you have to worry about where to store it at home and on the campground. The other big thing I started to think about is when you have to back up the MH with a car on the back. My understanding is you cannot backup a MH with a car on a tow dolly or 4 down, meaning you would have to disconnect the car and then back up the MH. My question is if I have a tow dolly wouldn't it be difficult to back up a MH with just the tow dolly attached.
This is the main reason we're thinking 4 down towing for us, am I crazy or missing something...
don't know about a dolly but when flat towing you can't backup with the toad attached. that's because the tow bar is designed to pull, not push. and the front wheels will more than likely turn causing the tow bar to twist.
