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??

"Can't" back up is really more like "be really careful and be ready to accept the risks."
I brought a 911 from Kansas to Pennsylvania on a tow dolly behind a 27' UHaul moving truck. Came a situation where I not only had to back up, but make a 3-point turn. Alone, at night, in the rain, in an unfamiliar residential neighborhood. I lived to tell the tale and the only issue with the 911 was the exhaust got bent a little when it got backed into a berm. The exhaust was cr&p anyway and destined for replacement so NBD. I would never recommend it, of course. And it was very scary because you can't see sh!t. Near as I can tell, jack-knifing is the big risk so you have to keep everything as straight as possible. |
