Got the car and dolly ready

Got the car and dolly ready to go, chains, straps and all.  Still need to find the best spot to mount both spares (car & dolly).  I have a jack and correct size tire iron wrench as well form an old car we had.  As many know the Spark does not come with a spare so I went to a tire store and got a new rim (wheel) and tire for under $175.00.  Years ago I learned never to leave home without at least one spare for everything (I prefer two).

 I always like setting up new things (dolly) in our drive first in case there are any problems then I unhook it all.  This gives me experience doing all the actions of loading and unloading.

The dolly sits waiting for dry roads to take everything to the scales and get our total weight minus water.  We keep the RV ready to go, just add 10 pounds of can goods and a gallon or two of jugged water when winter camping.

Here is a photograph of the hitch and light hook up plug for the dolly.
