Expert Answers about Trailer Dolly


  • Comparing Having a Demco Kar Kaddy Tow Dolly Versus a Car Hauler Trailer
  • As we do not sell a car tow trailer at our location you will need to source that pricing from a local trailer dealer. You will need to provide them with the weight of your vehicle as well as the dimensions to ensure the trailer is large enough. The big difference is going to be storing the dolly versus a trailer. The Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045 will fold up to only 67" long by 101" wide. And depending on your vehicle you will have a trailer that is 16'-20' long that you have...

  • Comparing Roadmaster Self-Steering Tow Dolly To Fixed Wheel Tow Dolly
  • The Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Self-Steering Wheels and Electric Brakes - 4,380 lbs # RM-2000-1 has the advantage of the turning wheels as opposed to the # RM-2050-1. The turning wheels on the dolly allow the dolly and vehicle to better track with the motorhome around corners. This allows for better turning and traction whether on the highway or around corners or gas pumps. The slight movement allows better contract with the pavement because the wheels are not pulled at a slight angle...

  • Comparing EZ Haul and Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dollies for Storage
  • The EZ Haul Car Tow Dolly with hydraulic brakes looks like a pretty straight-forward tow dolly that has entry-level quality that get's the job done. We don't carry this tow dolly so I can't speak to longevity but for what it is it seems to be a decent option. Our best option for a reduced storage situation is the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes # DM9713045. This is actually a premium option that has folding ramps (as opposed to removing and storing them) and a foldable tongue...

  • Will the RackEm Trailer Dolly Allow For Operation on Gravel
  • Yes. The tires on the Rack'em Trailer Dolly # RA20 are large enough that you will be able to move the trailer around without issues, especially just a short distance. If you need something to move longer distances then I would recommend using something like the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive - 2" Hitch Ball - 10,000 lbs GTW # TVXL2 because it's got solid wheels with deep treads that are going to allow for easier maneuvering on loose gravel.

  • Comparing Trailer Valet RVR5 and RVR12 For Moving Trailers Around On Dirt Inside an Arena
  • For your trailer and situation I recommend the Trailer Valet RVR12 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly # TV59FR. This dolly is rated for trailers with a tongue weight up to 1,200lbs and a trailer weight up to 12,000lbs. Your trailer has a maximum trailer weight of 7,000lbs and with the large tool box on the front it likely has a large tongue weight percentage. The rubber treads can handle asphalt, gravel, grass, and dirt surfaces with ease. Best of all this unit has 3 speed options to increase...

  • What is the Trailer Dolly with Highest Lift
  • I have a solution for you, but there is not an available extension tube available for the Trailer Valet XL # TVXL25. I would instead recommend using the trailer dolly/jack with the highest lift we have available, which is the 24" tall Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover # STC-V211. This dolly has an adjustable height between 9" and 24" tall, which is almost 4" taller than the maximum height of the Trailer Valet XL # TVXL25 , which tops out at 20-1/4". Aside from the height,...

  • Can the Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-200330-80 be Replaced with the Provider # TTWA14RWS
  • Since the Provider ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # TTWA14RWS is the exact same size as the ST205/75R14 Spare Tire and Wheel for Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-200330-80 and they have the same 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern it is a great replacement. This tire and wheel combination actually has a higher weight capacity of 1,760 lbs and has a speed rating of 81 mph. Keep in mind that you will be limited by your least rated component so if anything else on your setup (if you are not using this for...

  • Comparing the Fulton F2 Trailer Jacks with 1 Wide Wheel or the Twin Track Wheels
  • For ease of maneuverability, I would go with the wide wheel Fulton F2 Trailer Jack, # F1413040134. The wide wheel will have more ground surface contact and the weight will be better distributed than with a single. This is a good feature on soft ground. Jacks are good for short distances but for a better solution you may be interested in the Rack'Em Trailer Dolly, # RA20. It has a 1-7/8 inch diameter ball and is good for up to 500 pounds tongue weight.
