Anyone Tow Dolly their Edge with an RV?

Seems that the more I read, the more questions that come up.  I have a 2020 Edge SE front wheel drive recently purchased.  I am looking into possibly pulling it behind our motorhome with the use of a tow dolly. 

 

Tow dolly manufactures state that the steering wheel must be locked if using a swivel base plate tow dolly.  However as you know, with the push button start Edge the steering wheel does not lock.  I guess the way to over come this is to strap the steering wheel to hold it in place.   I figure that I can run two straps through the little steering wheel spoke opening at the bottom of the steering wheel then tie them down at the right and left driver seat mount at the floor.

 

Another issue is that the over all width of the Edge is with in a inch or two of the maximum allowable width per the tow dolly manufacture.   With one manufacture I would be with in 1/10", which is way to close for my taste.  Looks like for the greatest width and weight rating I will be going with the Master Tow 80THD with either electric or surge brakes.  Surge brakes are a $350 upgrade over the electric brake model, but the surge brake includes a break away brake system where as I would have to purchase and install a break away system for the electric brake model.

 

Does anyone have any experience in pulling an edge on a tow dolly that cares to chime and give me some feedback, pros, cons, suggestions?

Thanks

Never thought about this before, but doesn't the steering lock when the seloniod locks the transmission in park? 

 

Did you see this page?

Actually the steering wheel needs to be tied off and anchored is such a manner that it holds the wheel where the tires are kept pointed straight.  Our 2020 has the push to start button and does not have a steering wheel lock as such.

 

I had read the etrailer post also.  Thank you,
