If you didn't already have a new camper, I would completely agree, a toy hauler might be the option that you would really enjoy. Saying that, my wife and I have been double towing for the past going on 7 years. As we have never had an issue double towing, I never really enjoyed to whole double towing aspect. Therefore my wife and I did purchase a toy hauler about 6 weeks ago and it is a much better option for us. Not only can we take our toys without double towing, but now when the toys are unloaded we now have a separate room with queen sized bunk beds for our 3 daughters.
As far as double towing, as I have done it many many times, it was an uneasy feeling to me. But, it served its purpose and thankfully I never had an issue.
If you decide to double tow, you must always make sure that before you enter a particular road, parking lot or whatever the case may be, that you have a clear direction out without being able to back up.
There was one time where we were trying to find a campground that we had never been to and our GPS lead us down a dead end road. It is no fun unhitching a trailer from the camper, backing the camper out over a mile of road, unhooking it, going back to do the same thing with the trailer and then hooking it all back up. Thats an hour of my life I'll never get back.
Anyway, I hope you find the best option for you.
