How do you see the sights without a toad?
We are thinking about a small motorhome such as a Trend or View and prefer not to tow a vehicle. What problems or obstacles do you encounter when trying to park at restaurants, museums, tourist attrac...

Richy,
This is so very dependent on how you travel, that there is no one good answer. We have a 23ft Class A. We had a towed. I just sold it. We have the bicycles that fold up and live under our dinette and they are almost as good for most things. If you are going to park a week in one place, that may be a reason for a towed. We don't.
We used it and dragged it and is was all set up for use in every state. We didn't take it to Yellowstone because it was such a long run. We didn't miss it. I took me a while to figure out why people were getting out of their cars to see things. We could see just fine. If you are sight seeing in the west, the view is better than it is from a car. OK, the fuel will cost more, but you also don't have the chance to leave anything like the camera or binoculars or sun hat back at camp.
If you are going to travel in a megopolis, either drag the towed or rent one there. This is very true on the East and West coasts. When you get within 100 miles of salt water, the whole place becomes anti-RV and it doesn't matter what kind of RV. Just make sure that your own insurance covers rental cars and don't pay for theirs.
