Well you first have to find out if your existing vehicles can be towed. Look in the owners manual under "recreational towing". Next get your camper weighed (at something like a Cat Scale). Then subtract that weight from your rig's GCWR (Gross Combined Weight rating) that will tell you how much you can tow (if either vehicle's weight is greater than the value you can't tow that vehicle).

Once you know both of those then you can determine if you want to flat to (if either can be flat towed according to the owner's manual) or dolly tow (again the owner's manual will tell you if you can).

Flat towing is far easier to connect up and get going but costs about 2X as much as dolly towing.

For our first year of using the motorhome we simply rented cars when we were at the destination. In many ways this is the easiest thing to do (just call Enterprise and they'll drop off the car).
