I totally agree with DSDP Don (beautiful coach you have there incidentally!). But let me expand abit. With our 37' gasser, towed weight is a big issue. Our CR-V is well within the ratings of our coach. Adding the weight of a trailer would just get us closer to the limit. Remember, it is a good idea not to exceed 80% of the tow capacity of your coach. Likewise, the only issue I have with towing 4 down is backing up. I will never risk it. Only once in over a decade of towing dinghy's did I get into a situation where I had to unhook. And that was in a situation where a delivery truck had blocked a street that was very hidden from view. Plan 2 steps ahead and you should be fine. For instance, in an area I've never been, after the coach is set up, we exercise the Honda by checking out where we are going to gas up the next day. I hook the car onto the coach the next morning after I gas up if the station will require that.
Glad to see someone else unhooks while the wifey is paying for the site. Thinking 2 steps ahead!
