Today we're gonna be taking a look at Demco's Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with disk brakes.One of the biggest differences between the Kar Kaddy SS and the Kar Kaddy III is that the SS here is foldable so you can easily store it in your garage.It folds here at the tongue. There's a pin that holds it in place, so if you pull the pin, it'll simply swivel over and then you can reinsert the pin.Ensure that you place the lock pin on the bottom before using it.Ramps can also fol up to help minimize space. There's a lever located on the side that allows you to release those to put 'em up and down. There's also a slot here that the ramp slides in to get the click into place.The Kar Kaddy SS is gonna allow you haul your vehicle behind your motor home, and what's really nice about it, comparing it to other systems, it's gonna work with just about every vehicle and you can use multiple vehicles with it.And, unlike a flat tow set up, which requires you to modify your vehicle, install lighting systems, braking systems, and do a lot of complicated research to get all of those components to work together, this is one nice easy package that you just simply hook up to the back of your motor home, drive your vehicle on and secure it properly and you're ready to go.Your vehicle's secured to the Kar Kaddy using the included straps that keep your tires cinched down in between the loading pads.The ratcheting winch ensures that you get a tight fit. And also makes it extremely easy to unload your vehicle.Front loading, you simply pull the lever here, and just give it kind of a quick jolt down.And you've now released your strap.To tighten it, you simply crank it down, like you would any other ratcheting strap.The strap itself drapes over your tire and simply connects to the other side with the included hooks. For additional safety precautions, there are two safety chains that comes included where you could hook it to your frame or your control arms here.

And then, when you're not using 'em, they can store inside the front loading ramp here by just pushing 'em in there.The Kar Kaddy's capable of towing any vehicles up to 4,800 lbs, so it's gonna be great for your Sedans, SUVs and light trucks.And while the Kar Kaddy works with just about every vehicle, it's easiest when used with a front wheel drive vehicle. It does still work four wheel drive and regular drive vehicles, however you may need to disconnect the drive shaft in order to properly tow it behind you. You'll wanna refer to your vehicle's owner's manual to ensure that you're towing properly.And do keep in mind that it is designed for the front wheels to be loaded onto the Kar Kaddy. Not the rear wheels. And when you're ready to unload your vehicle, you simply reverse your steps.

Take off your safety chains, your straps, and then, release the tilt mechanism so you can slowly drive it off backwards.Now that you've got your vehicle off, before you tow it behind your motor home without a vehicle on it, you wanna make sure you put your steer axle pin back in.And flip up your license plate.You also wanna make sure your ramps are in the locked position.Now with the vehicle removes, we'll go over some additional features.It utilizes a two inch coupler, and comes with an included locking pin. It also includes your safety cables and as well as your floor pol electrical connection. As you can see here, it uses disk brakes, which is an upgrade over your traditional drum brakes, as it minimizes the stopping distance, as well as offers a smoother stopping experience.The disk brakes are applied using the surge coupler brake actuator, so whenever you stop, the coupler pushes in, sending pressurized fluid back to your disk brakes, applying the pads.What's nice about this is that there's no brake controller required inside of your motor home so you can just hook it up and it's ready to go, minimizing the amount of components you'll need to install to properly tow your vehicle.On top of our brake actuator, we have a break away switch here. This connects to you hitch, so in the event of a catastrophic disconnect, it will pull the switch, applying the brakes, to help it come to a safe stop.This is a fluid filled brake system. Brake fluid does not come included.

You will have to fill it and bleed it per the instructions that come included with your Kar Kaddy.Another huge benefit that this system offers that people don't think about is the wear on your vehicle's brakes.So, if you're flat towing your vehicles and you apply the brakes in your motor home, your braking system
