I like that, and do similar occassionally.

Over the years I've observed that it takes just as much time to hook-up or un-hook a toad from a motorhome as it does to hook-up or un-hook a compact motorhome from a campsite. From my perspective, unless I was going to take multiple toad trips per campground stay, I'm not going to gain much time by dragging a toad along.

As you said, it comes down to how you travel, and also whether the motorhome is so large that it restricts access to certain places. To me that's key.

We are more travelers than campers, and rarely stay in one campground more than a day or two. Whenever we've needed to go into town for groceries, resteurants, entertainment, etc., we've unhooked and driven the RV (up to 30-foot Class C).

I've towed flat, on dolly, and trailer before (not behind RV though), and can't imagine wanting to do it as part of RVing. I may change my mind down the road as we become older, but for now I really like traveling as nimble as possible.
