[NoVa-Corvairs] Towing Behind a Rental Truck

[63redbrier at cox.net]

Goodmorning, Curt!  While I originally agreed with Al's philosophical answer (& thought it was funny!), there may be a problem with connecting the wiring harness between the tow vehicle and the dolly.  Does the dolly even have stop/turn signals?  One would think connections would be a standard; however, U-Haul may have there own connections to prevent people from doing what you are trying to do.

A friend of mine at work had a loaded U-Haul truck and towed a boat and their only concern was making sure the truck they rented him had the right size hitch ball to accomodate his boat trailer.  I checked with the U-Haul in Chantilly and they told me the same thing over the phone.  They said no problem, you can use your own dolly.  Hope this helps you.
