Well this morning I had a free (For me) lesson in why I do not want to tow with a dolly.
Just outsider my door a man was putting his brand new JEEP Compass Front wheel drive on his dolly.. He over shot. and ended up with all 4 wheels on the ground. the dolly under the frame between them...
Well with jacks and planks we got the front up but alas not enough traction to back the jeep onto the dolly Would have woked better if Id have had more lumber but I had to use about half my stock... Under the motor home)
Had to call a tow truck.. Thankfully the plank ramps I'd put in place allowed him to simply winch it back a few feet and onto the dolly properly.
But Well... IT was fun and of course cost me nothign to learn (I like that) Cost them about 75 Bucks. (not bad could have been worse)
I noticed .. I've used U-Haul dollies a few tiems. they have a much taller "Stop" at the front of the ramp so it's harder to do what he did.
Oh well. I tow 4 down so not a problem. Way easier to hook up.
