Class B Toad
For the first time in 9 years of traveling all over the country we had a need to park our RV remotely in a campground and get around in a car. We were in the Minneapolis area where our daughter lives ...

I've seen two Sprinter B's parked together when I was overnighting in the Tiger at a Flying J on I-81 in VA. Both were pulling smallish 4-door sedans. I remember one was a Jetta. It was early spring, and both had Canadian tags. I'm pretty sure they were snowbirds heading back north. For folks staying in the same spot for weeks or months, it makes sense. For touring, not so much.
Jim, "Mo' coffee!"
Canadian and early spring most likely would have been snowbirders if heading north.
We haven't reached the stage where we would be snowbirders as we still enjoy our winter sports and want to be home at the holidays. I do wonder if we decided to go some place and just park and live for any length of time whether towing a car would be economical. But then again, if we reached that stage a B might not be that attractive.
What I have noticed is the longer the stay the more the campsite gets set up with stuff all around. Even with a B and accumulating stuff that might be difficult to just get up and drive around at will. However, in South Padre Island we met another B couple that had been there for 3 months. They pulled a trailer down from Wisconsin with all their comfort stuff. Every day they did drive off with the B mostly to spend time all day at the Birding Center.
For a short stay renting a car might not be a bad idea in an urban area. Rural, not so much.
