Tow Dolly for 2013 Toyota Sienna Van

We just tried our 2013 Sienna Van on a Master Tow 80THD. When turning, fenders rubbed (badly) the sides of our van even with a nice, wide turn. Is there a tow dolly that will work for us? We are still looking at the Roadmaster 2000-1, the ACME EZ-load or possibly the Landgrebe tow dolly. Anyone have any experience towing the Sienna and using a tow dolly. We are 78.1 width....towing 4 down is not an option.

    Oops just re-read you post and see you already found the RoadMaster 2000-1. That is the style you probably need.

    The specs I find for your van indicate the track width (tread width) is 68". 78" is your total width. For shopping tow dollies, you generally want to go by track width.

    That said... I think what you need is a steerable tow-dolly. Turntable tow dollies send the fenders towards you vehicle during turns, while steerable tow dollies turn in place (the wheels turn just like the front wheels on your van).

    Here is one example that even has disc brakes!

    RoadMaster also makes a steerable tow dolly. Their website isn't near as informative but they are local (Vancouver) so you could probably drop in.
