I'm a "pushing 70 year old woman", 5'4" and drive our 36' diesel pusher with a tow car. I've hooked everything up alone, driven hundreds of miles alone, unhooked and parked the thing alone. So...my thoughts:
The tow dolly is much heavier and harder to move and hook up than a car with a 4 wheels down set up. I would not use a tow dolly for either the front wheel set up or fully loaded on a trailer.
The "Sterling Tow-master tow bar" is very light weight, easy to hook up and handle. That's why we got it. It was light weight for me.
Do your research, as mentioned, there are several cars that are automatic towable 4 wheels down.
I'm sure with what you are considering as a tow car you will not be over the rated weight; but be sure and run the numbers. Some Class Cs are only rated to pull 3,500 lbs.; while other Class Cs and Class A's can tow 5,000 lbs. Diesels can pull much more. Be sure and check the hitch rating.
This is sometimes overwhelming; but if you do your research you'll prevent some frustration and aggravation or having to redo something.
Have fun.
