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 ...

As I read, some make it sounds like you cannot use the RV to go out the campsite. I did without a toad for the pass 40 years! I use to have a truck camper and when needed to go out, I would not unload the camper, I just disconnected and drive out the campsite. But I normally stay no more than a week at one place.
I think a toad is nice to have when you are parked for long period because disconnecting every time you need bread and milk would be a bit frustrating.
I do have a scooter and like it as a second vehicle to get around, it is nice to have but not a nessessity for short stay, like under a week or so. I was thinking at a toad but I am really concerne about the thing in the back like a pain in the ....back. When I travel, I like to be free, stop and go on a quick decision.
Just wondering if you've ever towed for any length of time and don't understand why you'd see it as a pain in the back or elsewhere.
On a different twist, you hear so much about wanting a smaller coach so that you can go more places. We've found this to be unfounded as well and no matter what size you have, the biggest pain is for disconnecting everything for getting underway and much like you've stated.
