 Dee4jThis was one of the first tings I purchased for the pop up.  I have to keep mine in the garage and there is only about 2"  on each side going in.  The trailer dolly works wonderfully.
 
 When I got mine I had problems with one tire always going flat, but [link=http://www.harborfreight.com/]Harbor Freight[/link] sent me a new tire free, no questions asked.

 Dee4jSorry, did not find it on sale. It must be over.

 Dee4jtrue to form, i rushed and ordered one as soon as the glowing reports and sale news were posted (I think I paid $50 plus shipping).
 
 I then schlepped it with me one a 5-day tour - taking it in and out of the TV every day and when I finally decided to try it on a flat, dirt/grass site.....NOTHING.  And I have a wee PU.
 
 Afterward, I started reading that the dolly is great for rolling the camper around on an a paved surface....since one day I really do hope to get rid of enough crap in my garage, i m hanging on to the dolly.

 sandykayakSandy,
 
   I ordered the one that tim had. It was 10 dollars more with weight up to 600 lbs.
 Besides I think the wheels are better... Dee4j, please don t be upset because I bought the other one .

 Dee4jI also have the exact same one that Tim has.  I bought it last August and am so glad I bought it.  Moving the PU around is no big deal at all.
 Side note;  The only time I ever use the PU s dolly jack to hold up the PU is when we are camping, and even then the stabilizer s are doing most of the work.  When the PU is stored, I rest the tongue on a 16"  tall concrete foundation block that has a 2"  x 6"  piece of wood formed into the top of it.  The PU s dolly jack is so flimsy with the large O-ring/clamp being the only thing attaching it to side of the tongue.  My friend s snapped off on his boat trailer when his daughter stepped on the tongue!  Fortunately, she was alright.  The tongue and coupler were destroyed though.  He had to leave his boat and trailer in the ramp parking lot for 3 days until he could return with a new trailer and 2 TV s (one with a flat bed trailer) to get everything home.
 Trailer dolly - $55.00.  Concrete form - $3.00.
