Flatbed towing
Pros and cons of towing auto with car hauler (flatbed)behind Class A.
Forum Discussion
Pros:
-You can tow anything, provided it has the clearance for loading onto the trailer.
-You can use it for other things, like home projects
-Easy to sell if your needs change
-You can back up
-No wear and tear on the car, and usually keeps it clear from stray rocks etc.
Cons:
-Potential to be less stable than either 4-down or dolly towing
-Tongue weight may eat into carrying capacity.
-Something else to maintain and buy tires for
-Hookup and loading will likely take longer than other options
-Campsite storage can be hit and miss. I wouldn't even consider a trailer that can't be towed by the car it's carrying, in case remote storage is necessary.
