I've hauled my Midget on both a U-haul 2-wheel dolly and the full trailer. 
It was a close fit with the trailer, but it worked without incident.

The 2-wheel dolly was the bigger headache.  I had to buy a new ball mount 
with mucho lift, because the ramps from the dolly made contact with the 
underside of the car when loaded.  The greater lift gave me a smidge more 
clearance between the ramps and the car.

Hope that helps.
