towing dolly
oadamo - 10/1/08 at 11:25 AM

hi ive bought trailer a few weeks ago and iam looking at turning it into a towing dolly. has anyone got any plans for one. where the car sits on the ramps does this turn on the base. or could you build a solid base and leave the steering lock off and the car will steer itself.

Do a search for dolly on here, they have been asked about a lot before and the rules are that you can only use them for recovery. You will get people say they've been using one for years without any problem but it's still illegal to use one for transporting vehicles and if you had an accident whilst using one you'd be in deep ....
