We think you will like it. Towing a car is easy. The hard part is remembering that it's back there.
With previous Class Cs of 22' and 24' I never had the need for a toad. This one at 32 1/2' is so much longer that there are many places it just can't go. I find a lot of times I have to back up, particularly in gas stations, that won't even be possible with a toad, so I'm not looking forward to that part. So many gas stations down here in the southeast, are not RV friendly, let alone RV/toad friendly. ๐

We recently purchased a new Master Tow dolly with surge brakes to tow our 2015 Jeep Renegade for less than $1500. The Master Tow also has the swiveling pan. After our recent tow to Buffalo and back (almost 1100 miles) we found it to work as advertised and there was no contact with the fenders. With the steering unlocked, we did notice a bit of front wheel turn but that is to be expected with new straps. Of course, we stopped often to check and tighten the straps.
Are the steering wheels to be in locked position on dollies with swiveling platforms?

I just tie a white rag around the top of my steering wheel so I can see it in the rear view camera and check during turns to see that it doesn't move too far.
