while towing a vehicle might have some negatives, such as reduced fuel mileage, and the effort associated with towing it, it seems MUCH simpler than having to rely on 'maybe' finding some type of rental vehicle, and all the 'baggage' they can come with.

sure, if your rv park is right next to a rental car dealer, then maybe that's a great way to go - easy as pie. but, that's also HIGHLY unlikely, especially where most of us want to travel and park our coaches - it's not normally in a metro area with car rental companies close by.
How would you GET to the car rental dealer?
How would you get BACK from the dealer when you return the car?
How LONG, or SHORT, of a time can you rent the vehicle? is it really cost effective?

Certainly, if you just don't want to tow a vehicle, it might work, but I think when all is said and done, you'll look back and wonder why you ever left on your travels without your own vehicle! One of the great things about traveling in your coach is NOT having to depend on others. It's just great FREEDOM when you have your own vehicle, even though it MIGHT seem as though it's a 'chore' to tow it.

While my wife is set on us towing our Fiesta to Alaska, for those 'just in case we need it' concerns, I don't think that we really need to, but she won : ) I'll probably be glad we did - we don't even know the vehicle's behind us, anyway.
