How long before buying a toad

If you're staying more than a few days, a toad really is a necessity.

How long did you have a Class A motorhome before you bought a tow vehicle. I just bought a Class A but don't have a car that I can tow without a dolly. I'm not going to tow a vehicle on a dolly.

Bought the toad while we were waiting on deciding which A to buy.

So in my case first we bought the Toad then the Coach - :)

BOL,

We set up to tow a toad right from the start.

One trip. I started with a motorcycle on the back of the motorhome. After one trip we realized we needed a car also.

Four months but with a twist. Got lucky and had a towable car already in the drive way but waiting a bit before acquiring the tow bar and base plate. Any trip longer than a weekend the car tags along for the adventure.

We've had our Class A nearly 10 years, still no toad. We tend to stationary camp; used to ATV and we have a boat. Have Jeep Wrangler now and sometime in the next year I'll set it up to tow behind. We have taken it sometimes, but after doing the good ol' cost-benefit analysis it was cheaper to have my wife drive it then to buy everything to tow it. We just have higher priorities for our money right now.

We did one trip, renting a car at the destination, and one trip with no car. That was it. After the second trip we got a 2001 Jeep Cherokee and haven't looked back. The toad eventually became a daily driver Grand Cherokee.

If you're staying more than a few days, a toad really is a necessity.
