I've toad with a 24 ft enclosed trailer, 22 ft open trailer, tow dolly, and flat towed behind our 78 Royale 403. The trailers were the most expensive to pull. And created the most issues at camp sights. If your gone for a long time. the enclosed trailer provided great storage. But my GVW was at 20,000lbs. The open trailer improve MPGs by 2. The dolly MPG was better then flat towing. But it was a very small amount. As far as storage at the camp sight. The dolly was left outside with a lock in the hitch on the dolly. The tow bar had to be stored inside to prevent theft. For me. I could get the dolly ready to hit the road in just under 10 mins. The tow bar was just over 15 mins. The dolly had it's own brakes and lights. The tow bar with brakes and lights restricts you to just one dedicated toad. Towing seemed to feel the same with the bar, or dolly. Pick what fits YOU. I use all four. Depending on what, and were I'm going too.
