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 ...

From what others have told me there is no backing in with a toad. I'd have to unhook first. Correct? I'm comfortable backing up the RV already. knocking on wood lol.
unless the toad is on (or in) a trailer you won't be able to back the toad up for any considerable amount of distance (more than 5 feet).
FREQUENTLY - I disconnect (aka drop) the toad close to our camping slot (i rarely pay the extra for a pull thru), back the coach into the slot and then go get the toad & put it in the slot (across the front of the coach).
It depends on the campground or location of where were gonna camp - but its usually never a very far walk.
Ive been known to drive around the campground loop to get a full lay of the land before i put the coach in the assigned slot (or to pick out the best slot for me).
While its good to be informed & prepared you'll never have all the answers or be completely prepared for every trip - use caution & don't be afraid to try - its part of the adventure & gaining experience. Don't over think it !
