Pulling a "Toad" on a Trailer?
Has anyone tried pulling their "Toad" vehicle on a trailer? I'm talking about a Class A Gasser with the Triton V-10... The reason that I ask is that I have a Subaru Outback.. All Wheel Drive mean...

Backing up a trailer vs flat tow is a very minor advantage for us. I've disconnected the toad 1 time in 10 years for that reason.
While a toad works best for us there are advantages and disadvantages to every setup. Dolly or trailer storage, parking and setup would be an disadvantage for us as we tend to have short stays over longer periods of time. Trailer maintenance is likely less but tires and brakes do need maintenance.
Tow bars and brakes are expensive. The tow bar can be used on the next vehicle, the base plate probably not. Originally we had a box brake because it was part of a tow package and could be used on another car. Still towing the same CRV after 10 years and now have a Invsibrake. Moving or setup on a second vehicle of a toad brake varies depending upon the type of brake, etc.
Probably not much resale value on towbars and brakes vs dolly or trailer. For me parking a trailer at a CG would be a PITA. Remove the car, drive to storage and then drive to the site. Parking in the site with the trailer restricts where in the site and implies longer site and hookups. A Dolly would be easier to store.
Some choose the lube pump or drive shaft disconnect option.
It sounds like a trailer is the best option for the OP at this point. Learn and determine any future changes.
