The Roadmaster Tow Dolly that can be used to tow your 2017 Toyota Prius v behind your Class A motorhome. Model # RM-2050-1 has a 4250-lb weight rating and includes electric brakes.
Activating the dolly brakes will require installing a trailer brake controller like the Prodigy P3 # 90885 in the motorhome and having a 7-way type trailer connector on it. You will also want a junction box like #E99011 to wire the dolly with a 7-way for connection to the motorhome.

When using a tow dolly to tow your 2008 Toyota Prius like The Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Foldable - 4,800 pounds # DM9713045 the dolly comes with the proper wires to hook up to your RV so your dolly will mirror your RV lights, so you will not need to wire anything else to the vehicle, because the dolly has all the proper functions of the lights you would need, and it meets the DOT standards. Depending on what harness you have on your RV you may also need the 4 pole... view full answer...
We do not offer any base plates for your 2014 Ford Mustang since Ford does not recommend flat towing this vehicle (page 206 of the online manual, available at Ford.com). So in order to tow it you'd need to use a flat bed trailer or a tow dolly like Roadmaster # RM-2050-1.
The Roadmaster dolly includes self-steering wheels, electric drum brakes (which require a brake controller like the Prodigy P2 # 90885), wheel nets, lighting and trailer wiring. The tow vehicle needs to have a 6-way or... view full answer...
According to the owner's manual, front wheel drive models of the 2015 Ford Escape must be towed using a tow dolly, AWD vehicles must be towed using a trailer. The vehicle cannot be dinghy towed with all 4 wheels down.
For a tow dolly, I'd recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy X, part # DM9713093. The dolly uses hydraulic disc brakes for sure, safe and predictable braking. Because the dolly uses a hydraulic surge coupler that compresses and applies the brakes when the motorhome applies the brakes,... view full answer...
The tongue weight and total weight will be important factors in choosing the correct trailer dolly, but I'll give you some general options that would cover different possibilities. If the total weight of the trailer is 10k-lbs or less, and the tongue weight is less than 1000-lbs, I recommend going with the Trailer Valet XL since it's going to allow you more control of the trailer. The Trailer Valet XL has a handle that allows for easy steering, a chain drive system to help make moving... view full answer...
When it comes to flat towing your 2022 Hyundai on a tow dolly, most of the trailer wiring is already included with the dolly. The Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Foldable - 4,800 pounds # DM9713045 has a full LED DOT lighting package which includes brake, tail, and turn signal lights So you will not need the lights working on your Santa Fe. It also has the front fender marker lights, and the license plate marker lights and has a 4-flat trailer connector.
Your RV will either... view full answer...
The replacement needed will depend on which trailer connector your car dolly uses, a 4 pole or a 7-way.
For a 4-pole, a standard trailer wiring harness like # HM48240 would work well for you.
If the tow dolly has a 7-way connector on it with electric brakes, I'd go with something like # 277-000141 to provide the trailer connector and junction box. The junction box allows you a safe spot to make your connections that will keep moisture away from the wiring connections. You'd use a length... view full answer...
The dual hitch extender that I recommend going with is the Malone # MPG544 because it gives you two 2" receivers with one of them sitting about 7-1/2" above the other one. This is compatible with a tow dolly but it has a max weight capacity of 4,000 lbs and max tongue weight of 400 lbs. Since any dual hitch receiver will act as an extender it will also reduce the weight ratings of your trailer hitch by 50% as well.
As long as the reduced weight rating of your trailer hitch is able to handle... view full answer...
The Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver for Bike Racks # D210 will allow for you to carry your bike rack while hauling your car on a trailer dolly. The ball mount is rated for up to 750lbs and a trailer up to 7,500lbs. The 2" receiver for a bike rack is rated for up to 500lbs. view full answer...
I have a solution for you that will make moving your trailer a lot easier. We do not have any 8 " rims with a 6 lug pattern. We do have the Performance Tool Wheel Dolly - Qty 2 item # PTW54013. These wheel dollies have a 1,000 lbs capacity per dolly, are 5-1/2" tall and accept tires up to 14" wide. view full answer...
The only trailer brake related concern for the Trailer Valet # TVRVR9 Remote Control Trailer Dolly would be if your trailer had a surge hydraulic coupler. Since your trailer has electric brakes, there won't be a problem.
According to my contact at Trailer Valet, it's extremely difficult to predict how long the batteries will last because there are so many variables involved including the weight of the trailer, how often the dolly is used, how well the batteries are cared for, etc. My Trailer... view full answer...
When using the The Roadmaster Tow Dolly part # RM-2050-1 to tow your 2018 Fiat 500X behind your Thor Freedom Elite 24FE, the tow dolly will do the signaling, not the vehicle. Therefore you need a 7-way trailer connector for both the tow dolly and motorhome unless you already have them.
For the motorhome, I recommend using the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236 with the Universal Installation Kit part # ETBC7. Since your motorhome is larger than... view full answer...
A car dolly like # RM-2050-1 comes with electric brakes, adjustable wheel nets fitting tires ranging from 12" to 16", tail/brake lights and a 6-way round trailer connector. Use of a towing dolly does require an electric brake controller that mounts inside the towing vehicle and that activates the tow dolly brakes when the motor home brakes are applied. One of the most popular is the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885. You will also need a wiring kit, part # ETBC6. This kit includes everything... view full answer...
When dolly towing a vehicle such as your 2008 Toyota Yaris, you will indeed want to lock the steering wheel.
The Roadmaster # RM-2050-1 features electric brakes, but the trailer connector for the tow dolly is sold separately. A 7-way trailer connector is most common, we offer them as part # PK12706.
You'll also need to equip your tow vehicle/motorhome with a brake controller. A remote mount brake controller like the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty, part # RED24FR would be an excellent choice.... view full answer...
The most common type of brakes found on tow dollys are electric drum brakes. This is because electric brakes are typically the more cost effective option over hydraulic brakes and electric brake systems typically require less maintenance than hydraulic braking systems.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Electric brakes are usually cheaper to install than hydraulic brakes, but you must have an electronic brake controller, like the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885, installed... view full answer...
Generally, you don't need additional lighting when using a tow dolly that already has lights. However, it's not a bad idea to check with the local laws in the states you'll be traveling in and in Canada.
Some people like to add additional lights just to make it easier to see the vehicle that's on the dolly. If you wish to add lights, you'll need to splice in a tow light kit, like # PE26UR, because the trailer connector on the back of your RV will already be in use with the dolly. Unless... view full answer...
In order to connect the Optroncis Magnetic Tow Lights # TL21RK to the 7-way trailer connector on your RV you would need to cut off the 4-way on the lights and wire them in to the existing 7-way on your tow dolly (If there is one) or add a new 7-way connector # H20046.
You'll need to wire the brake circuit wires on the dolly to the # H20046 as well so the 7-way on the dolly will be fully functioning. If you prefer it might be easier to use a 7-way with a junction box # HS381-9000. view full answer...
For an easy electrical hookup between your 2017 Thor Compass RV and the Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1 my recommendation is to wire in a 7-way RV style socket/plug combination.
Since the dolly comes only with 4-pole wiring you will need a 7-way trailer-side plug like 8-foot # H20046 or 6-foot # H20044 and a junction box like # 38656 to install the 7-way on the dolly. You can use ring terminals like # 44-5310A. This 7-way will carry all lighting signals plus the brake controller's output... view full answer...
It sounds like you're trying to power the lights and brakes on the Roadmaster RM3477 tow dolly. To do this you will not want to connect the dolly to the Fiat that's being towed but rather to the RV that's towing it.
I assume the RM3477 has a 4-way connector on it because Roadmaster dollies often do. Even though they need a 7-way to power the brakes. What you'll need is a 7-way trailer connector like # 277-000141. This has a junction box attached to it which will make it easier to connect... view full answer...
