Good for you but I have to reason to push the maneuverability limits with a toad attached. Seen those that did than block the road to unhook at the site.....they really look foolish.
For an overnighter I always ask for a site that I can get into without unhooking but still, it only takes a couple of minutes to unhook/hook and time is cheap, paint expensive.
I went to a campground in Rapid City some years back. The check-in guy said he would go back and guide us in. I told him my wife was more than capable of directing me. He said he was required to do the guiding to make certain there would be no problems.
So, I followed his 'precise' directions and even after pointing out where a potential problem existed, he told me he had been doing this for a long time and had never had a problem.
So, to make a long story short, his 'directions' led me to a place where a post (marker) scraped the side of my rig to the tune of ~$3-5000. When I asked for their insurance info, I was told it was my responsibility.
Which is why the ONLY ones I will let spot me are my wife & my uncle! Anyone else wants to...well, I'll just ignore him!
