    I don't have any experience with doubles and am wondering if women are strong enough to deal with the dollies and hooking up the pup trailers?

    My wife never would touch them,,I did it. I know there are Woman that can handle it, it is all about setting the dolley up right so, you don't have to pull it up hill or very far.

    I see three or four women that do it where I work. The dollies are balanced enough that once you get the tongue up they aren't that hard to move, especially if you're careful with the set up like someone else mentioned. Lift with the legs. It'll save the back, and they're strong enough to get it in the air.
