A friend and I tried to rent a trailer for the same purpose in the Mountain
View/Sunnyvale area, about 2 or 3 years ago, and we were unable to find one
at U-Haul or anywhere at short notice. The spacing of the U-Haul trailers
was too wide for a B, and so were many of the tow dollies. We finally used
an adjustable tow dolly, but I forget where we found it.
