We got home Sunday from our second mini trip using our tow dolly. We spent 3 nights in Melbourne, Fl. which was about a 320 something mile round trip. My wife went to a Price is Right show last Fri. night (I opted out :B)
All went fine again with the dolly. Those adjustable straps can be a pain. I had for some reason, been putting the hooks on first and then laying them over the tires. That was stupid. I realized if you lay them out first as they should go over the tires, then drape them over the wheels, it will go much easier.
The chains through the wheels seems a much better idea than trying to secure the chains to some other point on the car - no laying down required. I think I'll get some type of quick disconnect for the innner connection, and eliminate having to thread the shackle. The clear plastic hose on the chain helps keep things from getting scratched.
