Question:

Is there any way I can use a tow dolly on my 2014 Itasca Sun Star 35F because of the high height? The center of the receiver is 28high and the CO.states that the should not exceed 6?

Thanks for sending us a picture!

I haven't heard a county or state restricting the amount of drop for a ball mount when towing. I would recommend verifying this information with the local department of transportation office.

If you find there is no restriction on drop, then I have what you will need. Based on your photo, it looks like the actually hitch height is 30-1/2 inches measured to the top of your receiver. The Roadmaster tow dolly # RM-2050-1 you referenced requires a ball height of 18-inches. Based on those dimensions, I recommend using the Convert-A-Ball cushioned ball mount # AMSC12 which has a 12-inch drop.

If you do not have a brake controller for the electric brakes on the tow dolly, I recommend the Prodigy P2 # 90885. It's very easy to use and mount and it's one of our most popular brake controllers.

I included a couple informative articles and video reviews too.
