Disconnecting a loaded tow dolly - anyone done it?

Wondering if its possible to disconnect a loaded (with a car on it) tow dolly from your motorhome - assuming you have a swivel wheel jack like this on it https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CQOIVO/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX 0DER

Has anyone done it? Would it be possible to do without damaging anything and still allow you to hook back up?

I disconnected my toad/dolly one time last year when I was changing the MH's hitch ball receiver. I needed to lower the height of the ball on the MH.

If you do this, block the toad tires or use the parking brake to keep the toad from rolling. Unhooking would be fairly easy. hooking back up will require some skill and patience to line up the hitch with the ball.

Don't forget to release the parking brake when your hooked back up.

Other than that, I don't see any problems.
