Comparing Roadmaster Self-Steering Tow Dolly To Fixed Wheel Tow Dolly

Question:

What are the advantages of wheel steer dollies versus the fixed wheels like on the RM-2050_1. We probably tow 3000 miles per year with aE450 class b motorhome.

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 on a sharp turn to stay in line with the tow vehicle. This allows for a much smoother turn and slightly better tire wear on your dolly.

With either tow dolly, you will also need the Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector # PK12706 to complete your wiring connection. I've attached a video to assist.
