RK911.. Thank you for your quick reply. We live in Maine and in general, I believe it is a general feeling of tight and crowded streets. A culture thing I think, living in the Northeast. Also, after reading information on towing, there are so many options (vehicle, type of towing apparatus, etc..) I am not sure which way is the best way to go, SO, we wanted to get a feel for the RV at least for the first year or so.
I think that's wise. we didn't tow for the first 7-years primarily because our minivans at the time could not be flat towed without modification. early on it wasn't a big deal. our MH was just 26' long and we learned to stop for food and supplies before checking into our CG but we were also pretty good at breaking camp to go places.
but eventually that became tiresome so when we were shopping for a new vehicle in 2003 we looked for one we could flat tow and went with a jeep wrangler. what a difference. suddenly we weren't tied to the CG or dependent on renting cars for day trips.
give it a year or so and if you enjoy the lifestyle then take another look at towing. your narrow streets shouldn't be an issue since most toads are going to have a narrower footprint than your MH. in the meantime enjoy!
