Full Time Step 3

[Larry and Rita]

OK We have

Step 1, Put sticks and bricks up for sale;

Step 2, Bought a small car to tow

Step 3, Now we need to get a Tow Dolly and have the new car wired for towing.

Where do I go that I can get the work and Dolly for less than a kings ransom ?

I thought about U-Haul or Camping World, unless someone on this forum has a better answer.

Any trailer shop can do it.  Find a mom & pop shop with a good reputation.  Keep your money in your own community.

I originally used wireless magnetic lights then went to wired lights on my toad. I had my RV dealer do the car with a diode kit, they did not punch into the car's electrical system, a couple hundred bucks at shop labor rate, and I trusted their experience. Trailer shops, as noted, are another good source.

Gotta agree, I prefer to use small local shops for stuff like this.

There is always tow dollys for sale on Craig's list. I have seen a lot of them for around 4-500.00 some with brakes.

Consider adding a transmission lube pump to the car and towing 4-down instead.  What year/make/model of toad is it?

We bought a 2013 KIA Sole, mainly because of the weight factor, my '99 PaceArrow showes a 3,500 GVTW.
Naturly the dealer said no to the 4-down tow, so we are looking to get a Dolly, most of the advise I have gotten said that the brakes and stop light on the dolly would meet all the requirements but I feel that the car or Magnetic lights would add to the safety factor.

Yes it will. 

Just dont do like one I saw last trip out.  Pulled up behind a Class C MH with an SUV as a toad.  The Toad had magnetic lights on the back of the roof.  Then a bicycle rack on the back of it with the bicycles riding high enough as to block the rear lights. 

Wish I had taken a picture of this to post as to "What not to do".
