Actually the Rack'em Trailer Dolly # RA20 will work well with a trailer that has a 2 inch coupler. When using a tow dolly the tongue weight alone of the trailer will keep the coupler attached to it. You do not have to use the exact same size hitch ball on a dolly. That is why frequently tow dollies will use a small sized hitch ball so that all coupler sizes can be used on them.
If you were in a situation the tongue weight of the trailer started pulling up the tow dolly wouldn't keep the tongue from coming up even if it was latched on. So all the ball of a dolly needs to do is set on top of the ball.
