Is Trailer Breakaway Kit Required for Tow dolly  

Updated 11/29/2016 | Published 11/27/2016

Question:

Would you recommend installing a break a way kit on this car dolly? Would the tow car jack knife when the system is activated?

Helpful Expert Reply:

You do ask a good question.

A breakaway system is not required when using the Roadmaster Tow Dolly. And yes, there would definitely be a risk of the towed car jackknifing if the dolly brakes engaged after the trailer decoupling. The rear of the towed car could come around sideways and make a bad situation worse.

My technical contact at Roadmaster confirmed that the above information is correct.
