I tow 4-down, and have been doing so for about 10 years. I have a truck/camper and tow a Suzuki Samurai. I have towed with a trailer. I much rather tow 4-down.
There is too much drama using a trailer. When you reach your destination, you typically have to not only unhook the trailer, you must also find a place to store it and then park the towed. I unhook my Samurai the same as my trailer, but no need to store it.
I think the cost to setup either method is about the same if you purchase everything off the shelf.
I think a rear camera is almost a must, either way you tow.
