Hi. Today I picked up a Car Tow dolly from Forest River with electric brakes, and while talking to the Forest River guys, they told me that for MH use, I should get the heavy duty tow dolly, that the regular tow dolly doen't work. Does somebody uses this? The dealer told me that this dolly will work fine with a motorhome.
By the way, I got a coachmen Mirada 31 feet, F53, 11 feet overhang.
Any comments from anybody who uses this tow dolly woul dbe welcome. Thanks.

Hi Map40
I used a tow dolly for 6 or 7 years, it was a light duty one. The tow dolly size should go by what size car you will carrying on it. I towed a lightweight ford on the I had with on problems.

I'd be sure your toad vehicle does not exceed any of the dolly's specifications and that your MH has the right hitch and towing capacity, then hit the road! Many such dollies are used all the time.
