So when using a tow dolly for your 2015 Chrysler 200, the dolly will have the needed lights, so you won't need to install any type of lighting kit. The dolly will have the necessary brake lights and turn signals which will come from the dolly's 4-way, which you'll plug into your RV.
For your Chrysler you want to make sure you get the right dolly, and for that the best option is one of the following from Demco.
- Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly # DM9713093
- Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045
There are a couple reasons for that, starting with fit. The Demco dollies will not only fit your Chryler's width, but importantly they also fit the larger 17" to 18" wheels (depending on model) that come on your Chrysler, which not all dollies do.
Also, the Demco dollies are much easier to use than other tow dollies. The Kar Kaddy X tilts down and the Kar Kaddy SS has a ramp so you can simply drive up the dolly and secure your car on it. The SS ramps also fold up and it has a stow-away tongue which makes it the easiest dolly to store. Both dollies also have a simple surge coupler to activate their hydraulic disc brakes as opposed to electric brakes which require added wiring and a brake controller for your RV.
