On a two wheel dolly. due to circumstances beyond my control I gotta drag my rig from north of Seattle to Phoenix Anybody towed this way?? She got no motor or tranny in her and my wife does'nt like the idea of a full size trailer behind her Grand Cherokee. (she's doing the driving , I have larger responsibilities) I'm a lttle concerned with the front end waltzing all over the place. Any experience with this??

NOT SUPPOSE TO HAUL A CAR ON A DOLLY BACKWARDS ...ITS INTENED TO BE DUEL POINT hitch ...at the hitch and at the steering rack .....if you strap the back of the car to it hows it gonna swivel ....its got 4 wheels on the ground...unless the DOLLY itself swivels at the hitch and were the car straps on....just say`nn ......JMO
