Do I really need a toad?
Traveling cross country for first time in RV (34' class A/gas). I'm driving myself with no help from another adult or driver. I'd really like to NOT have to bring the car and would prefer to bike ...

We traveled for 5 years without. Toad. For the most part, we were able to get by using Rv park shuttles and rental cars (enterprise). We also used gps to find oversized parking lots where we could park and enjoy the sites and shop. We just set up a toad and will use it all summer. I have some concern about how it will restrict our maneuverability, especially at fuel stations. As for what to do if the coach brakes down, we call roadside assistance and wait (done once). I would be more concerned about being alone and having to unhook if you get in a tight spot and have to back up.
All your concerns are unfounded as you will find out.
We went without for a number of years and only because our DD didn't meet the requirements. Once we did decide on having a DD driver that did, we didn't hesitate to tow it and now appreciate having it along.
As you might have guessed, we would never buy a vehicle, just for the sake of towing it.
