Our first motorhome was a 36" gasser, and our first trip was from Chicago to do the oregon coast. 5 weeks, almost 6000 miles. No Toad.
No, you do not "uncamp" a beast of this size because you ran out of milk, or want to take the family out for ice cream.
I was VERY careful that if I needed to sightsee or shop, it was done while "enroute" before setting up a campsite. On that trip, our longest stay anywhere was 3 night, most were 2, many just 1. This made it do-able, but just.
The following year I bought a toad (wrangler TJ) and the year after traded for a 40' DP.
Even if I'm just going down the road for fuel or propane, the DP never rolls without the jeep attached.
