On our retirement trip we elected not to tow to keep things as simple as possible. Plus, neither of our cars at the time were towable 4 down. We spent $3000 in rental cars over 6 months and discovered;
1. We missed a lot of local attractions along the way
2. We were picking campgrounds that were within Enterprise's "We'll Pick You Up" radius. Not the best criteria.
I bought a used Equinox and had it set up for towing. Found a used Blue Ox towbar and RVi Brake on Craigs List. The enter tow setup was half the cost of rental cars on the trip. I'll never go back to renting.
