this could get sticky as U-haul has a requirement that the lead vehicle is
at least 700 lbs heavier than the towed vehicle+dolly  no class 1 hitches
either...  I towed 2 home same day with my 85 quantum TD on a class 1 hitch
with a uhaul dolly (I lied and told them that my motorhome was to tow the
QTD and the class 1 was to just get the dolly home)

anyway that was a short distance 15miles each 1 way  and quite hairy..
having the dogs push the sled (like volvo's commercial in the 90's)  but the
x-terra should be stout if you keep it reasonable

Which is the easiest and/or best way to tow a Westy for a 200 or so mile
trip, flat tow or on a dolly? I've yet to tow one, and will be doing so next
weekend. Thanks for any tips.
