I have used both. Short trips the wheel dollies are fine. for a trip of any
length use a trailer from u-haul. they are typically in excelent condition
and they have a trailer brake sytem that works independent from the tow
vehicle. the master cylinder is mounted on the trailer tounge. when the tow
vehicle touches it's brakes the trailer applies it's brakes. even with my
dodge ram it makes for eazy towing. and regardless of what you hear on this
sight, chain it down from the frame. if you run into trouble you don't want
to add 4000 lbs of wobbly load behind you.
