What does it mean getting a tire out of round? What does a tireman have to do to get it " in round"?

I looked on Ebay and found carhaulers in the $1800 - 2500 range so I guess it depends on the tow bar and braking system you buy whether it is competitive. I realize you have to keep up two sets of tires. I'm not sure what the trailer would weigh but I think I would be safe with the 10,000 lb hitch on the coach to tow that way. However, the folks I have spoken with has encouraged me to flat tow so that may be the way I go. I liked the simplicity of the hookup of going with the trailer in not having to mount the tow bar and the fact I have heard of some of the braking systems locking up. Thanks for your response.

when you were using your car hauler behind your coach did you experience problems finding a place to stash you hauler at campgrounds? That is my mine concern.

I purchased a 40' DP recently and am trying to make a decision about towing. I definitely do not want a car caddy and looked into towing 4 wheels on the ground. When pricing tow bars and braking systems it seems to run in the neighborhood of $2000 -$2500. It seems that most people I meet tow that way but I have been told if you ever have to back up over a couple of feet you would do damage. That concerns me since I have already found sometimes I get in a tight with a long rig. So I have been thinking of purchasing a open car hauler which I know you could back up. Also I believe you could get one for close to the same money and I could also use it in my business. So it seems that the cost would be close but the only negative I can see is parking the trailer at campgrounds. I stayed at a large campground recently and they had a place you could leave your trailer while you are at their park. I would love to hear feed back from anyone with any experience with this or any insights. Will this create a big hassle as I move around the country?
