need help with towing my XA
we are moving back to Louisiana and we are towing the XA on a car carrier. Uhaul knows jack about them and doesnt even list them and neither does Penske. I got some old lady on phone asking who made it and if it had oversized tires on it (30" or taller) even after I told her it was about the size of a mini Cooper. So does anybody have experience with this? Ive meausred the inside tire width and its about 49" with about 5" of ground clearence and the car carrier is about 42" with 3 1/2" needed. so it looks fine, but Uhaul wants us to sign a waiver.
Are you talking 2-wheel dolly, or entirely off the ground? Sounds like they're concerned with overly large wheels, which you don't have. If Uhaul wants you to waive damage to your vehicle, check your insurance coverage for this.
FWIW, I towed a Saturn SL1 behind a 17' truck 600 miles on a front wheel dolly, and would spring for the whole vehicle trailer if I had to do it over. With the vehicle wheels pivoting over the dolly wheels, you have a compound trailer, which means you won't be able to back it more than 1-2 feet without jacknifing it. Had to dismount the towed vehicle twice to accomodate parking lot maneuvering...
