But you can take the vehicle off the trailer or dolly once you arrive at the
camp site and park it in the campground's parking lot. you don't need the
trailer or dolly once you're at the site.
I've also seen people slide the tongue of their dolly under the back of
their RV and only add 2 feet to the length of the parked vehicle.
