Raul,
I recently towed a roadster from LA to Portland using a U-Haul dolly. I placed
the
car on the dolly backwards so that the running gear would not take any wear and
tear running down the road at speeds from 0 to 70 or so. Mostly around 62 MPH.
I
checked the front wheel bearing temperature a lot (the car had been stored for
15
years) and never felt any heat at all. The trip went fine. Incidentally,
since I
was driving round trip, I rented the dolly in Portland, dragged it all the way
to
LA, and then brought it home again, making it a local rental. U-Haul did not
really like that, but the difference in rental fee was about $100.00. I only
saw
the empty dolly above the tailgate one time when it hit about a sudden 2" shift
in
road elevation at 60 MPH.
More recently I had the opportunity to use a flatbed trailer for another Datsun
I
brought up from Oakland. I was much more comfortable knowing that the car was
not
on the road.
