I tow a short, Kia Soul with a long overhang, 30 ft, Class C.
My first time out, I got in a gas station situation where I needed to back up a bit.
I did and got back on the road. When we went to unload the car, the Key would not turn. I pulled it apart and found the steering lock sheared off. I took out the prices and have been towing without a steering lock for 3 years now.
My point is that I don't tie the steering wheel and it tows fine.
On some real sharp turns, the turntable travels to the limits and the car wheels turn, just like in an Acme dolly. If I go straight, it all straightens right out. If I tied the steering, I may start dragging the dolly in sharp turns.
I've put about 24,000 miles on the MH, car and dolly, and have had no problems towing. I don't tie the steering wheel.
