Roadmaster Tow Dolly is a piece of junk

[donnyjay]

Have less than 10,000 miles and it needs kingpins. Pins are available from Roadmaster only as an assembly with the I beam and knuckle. What a rip off. I am in the business of auto and truck under the vehicle service. Put king pins in all the time. A set for this tow dolly show not cost more than $100.00. Right and left side assemblies from Roadmaster cost $661.00.

I am in the market for a new dolly. What would be a better choice than the Roadmaster?

Check out Master Tow. Ours has about 7,000 miles on it with no complaints. We have the 80THD with surge brakes.

We have a Demco KK-460, no problems with it except a cracked fender from a branch blown down in a wind storm. We have towed our Honda Ody on it with no trouble although I wouldn't want to tow anything wider. A 2011 Ody wouldn't fit as they're wider than our '05.

I doubt if Roadmaster manufactures king pins themselves, so I'll bet you could find a component from another source that would replace them. Sounds like a business opportunity for you!

We also have a Master Tow

80THD with surge brakes.


Great tow dolly.

We have the Demco Kar Kaddy SS and love it. A bit on the pricey side but so far I think it's worth every penny.

I'd ge out the MiCs and start seeing exactly what size they are and then maybe a trip to amachine shop is in order.

I purchased my Tow Dollie brand new July 2010 from ACME Tank and Trailer. It works great and the unit has disk brakes. They are located in Kernersville, NC 336-996-4396. I live in NJ my cost including tax and shipping and 1 spare tire on a rim, was $1,380.00

We have a Demco Kar Kaddy SS also and no problems at all, very well built. It is listed for sale now, but only because we bought a tandem tow dolly to haul both golf cart and Toyota Highlander. The workmanship is not as good on the tandem as the Demco, I think.

Am in the market for a tandem tow Dolley to haul motorcycles along. What manufacturer are you using?

Thanks,

Don't think they are that many to chose from for tandem.

Here is one

Same here and the resale is pretty high as well.
