I believe that most modern cars do not "roll up miles" when being towed. Unlike the cars of my youth, modern cars have electronic odometers. At least, the three cars we have towed four-down, a Subaru and two Honda CRV's, did not accumulate miles being towed.

cwkoch,

For general RVing, I would not want to deal with a trailer. Some campgrounds will have pull-thru sites big enough for you and the trailer, if you are lucky enough to get one. Not many will have pull-thrus that will handle your coach, trailer, and car off the trailer.

Picture yourself, unloading the car, then backing the trailer into a storage site, Then reversing that process, when before leaving the campground.

We have towed with a dolly, because our toad could not be towed four-down, and have towed four-down. We would not like to go back to a dolly (or a trailer.)
