[Spits] Dolly or Trailer

U-Haul used to rent dual axle trailers.
If loaded properly it should tow fine.
Andy Mace and I used to tow with a rather basic single axle trailer with no
complaints either.
(Andy even did a hair raising 12 hour trip successfully) 
Again, getting the car loaded so you have a proper tongue weight is the key!

OMG, memories of towing...the stories I could tell.... :-)

Over the years, I've towed about every way possible, save for use of a rollback flatbed or traditional
"hook" tow truck (although I've had them done, it was by professionals). But for doing it myself:

1. good tow vehicle (not your neighbor's old Peugeot wagon with a Kmart trailer hitch)
2. solid, safe trailer big enough to hold whatever vehicle (icnluding the above Peugeot wagon, in my case,
to "rescue" my then-father-in-law!)

Personally, I feel that if the car can't be driven, and you're going more than about 20 miles, it 
deserves to be on a trailer (or a flatbed truck, or even in a U-Haul box truck if you're clever).

I see them used all the time, but I'm just not a fan of dollies for the long haul.
