Like others have said, it is a personal decision based on your travel style and needs.
For us, we switched from a truck and TT to a class C this past spring and couldn't be happier. As far as a toad goes, we decided to give it some time without a toad to decide whether we wanted one or not. So far we've decided that a toad isn't worth it for us. You don't HAVE to break camp every time you want to go somewhere, depending on where you're at. We've done all of the following so far:
- Bike to local store, restaurant, or site to see (and yes, you can carry a single bundle of firewood in a backpack...you could do more with a bike trailer!)
- Rented from Enterprise using thier "pick you up" service
- Took a cab
- Took the Winnie
- and of course an option is making sure you have all you need packed and just stay put at the CG :)
All have worked for varying needs and scenarios and none of the non-toad solutions have made us wish for the expense or the hooking-unhooking routine of a toad.
