Being new to using a tow dolly, I learned the hard way that you can't make a very tight turn without damaging your car. I live on a street with a cul de sac where I can turn my 34' Class A Itasca Suncruiser around. The first time I tried this, I had my wife's 2008 New Beetle convertible on a tow dolly behind the motorhome. What happened was the housing assembly for the tow dolly's left fender dug into the car's rocker panel as I had the motorhome wheels cranked all the way to get through the tightest part of the cul-de-sac.
Has this ever happened to you--or do you know a good rule of thumb to make sure this never happens again? Or better yet, is there something I could do to avoid this problem altogether in tight turns? One thing I thought of was to figure out a way to raise the car on the trailer by 4 inches-this would then allow the housing to pass "under the car" rather than hit it.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks!!
