I found no evidence of dolly tires rubbing and there was no small any time I was back there during stops.
Any ideas?

I used the same dolly and every time I started up after towing would smell a rubber like odor each time I checked the car it was fine. After driving the car around the odor would leave. Found out the smell is common and I have it now on my present toad and it is being towed 4 down. The smell is from road grime, fine rubber dust, and oils pick up on the under carriage and exhaust and being burnt off when started and driven. Nothing to worry about unless it does not go away after a few minutes of starting the toad and driving it around.
