Mike: check on page 597 of the West Marine 1998 Master catalog. They show
such a dolly for $70.49 that has a 1-7/8" ball and handles tongue weights to
200 lbs. Your local travel trailer parts dealer will also have them. If
all else fails, contact your local small airport operator, since they use
similar items to jockey small tail-draggers.
