New to all of this. I went on our maiden voyage with tow dolly, when I arrived to RV park I was shocked to find the straps lose and nothing holding the Prius in place. My solution was to re-thread the sling that goes around the tire , through the bottom hole on the back strap of the tire. Tightened down nicely, then stopped about 5 miles to tighten just a little more. drove home 120 miles , and the straps were still tight. The issue is all in the back strap. the straps are made for larger tires! So by shorting the the overall diameter of the strap you will be able to tighten the straps onto the tire. OF course the remainder of the strap is sticking up in the wheel well. May just cut it, but not sure , what the future in-stores. I may get something with bigger tires . O and towing it was a breeze. And I am not building up mileage on the Prius odometer.
Just keep in mind,do not get into a situation that you may have to back up. If you do take the car off! You can google on yutube, not a good idea backing up with toad attached to the RV, takes lots of practice!
happy trails
