Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

4 down or dolly?
Permalink  

I've got a both a Honda Accord all set up with kayak racks and bike racks that I thought I would tow behind my 2004 Brave.  But NO 4 wheel down.

What's your experience with/opinion of having a dolly?
Hate to buy another car and then have it outfitted to tow.  Whew what an expense but IF in the long run the consensus of those who know says better idea then I need to get planning that.

thanks for the help
Sherry

i have done both. and 4 down is so much easier. a good dolly will cost you the same maybe a bit less than the tow system. yes we bought a different car to tow. just ease and time, not to mention some places dont have enough room for you to put a dolly. i would vote 4 down if finacially able

Check out Remcotowing.com.  They are experts and many vehicles can be towed 4 down even when the manufacturer does not recommend it or they can be modified.  I modified my Toyota Tacoma with a replacement drive shaft and it works fine. 

It cost less than a tow dolly and one less item to mess with when traveling.
