Once everything is moving dowm the highway, is there any differance in how the whole outfit handles driving wise, between a trialier and a dolly?
Is one safer then the other? |

For each person's situation, there are a lot of depends:
Depends on what type of tow vehicle you have. A truck, use a trailor; a minivan or sedan, maybe use the dolly. Depends on how far you are driving. With a trailor, it's nice to have the 914 off of the road surface for a long trip. Short trip might just require a dolly. Depends on the condition of your 914. If in good shape, do you want the rear wheels, tranny in neutral, on the road surface. If in bad shape, do you want the rear wheels, tranny in neutral, on the road surface. Depends on how much money you want to spend. I didn't have a truck, so for a trailor, I would have had to rent a U-Haul truck and trailor. I was lucky enough to have a friend lend me his truck. I felt better having the 914 off the road for the 180 mile trip. Oh yeah, depending on your route, your vehicle tie-down straps, and your nerves, YOU might need some Depends.
