There should be an Invention where some kind of motorized Cart can pick up the Dolly and roll it into the 5th wheel of your Pup :P

I will double check, but I dont think our dollies have that.

WELL????

WELL!!!

Our dollies have the same jacks as any other jack. Just like on a boat trailer, or any other bumper pull trailer. Just a handle, with a little metal wheel at the bottom. So, thanks for the info, but I still have to keep turning the handle, until it is either up, or down. :P

Bad thing about them, is that you have to raise up the jack all the way. It would be nice if you could just raise it up to where it's off the ground, but it will vibrate it's way back down. :?
