Well, having towed a lot both ways (4 down, trailer and dolly) I would have to agree with everyone on here that with careful planning and assessment for the most part you won't have to worry about backing up much pulling a toad four down. Having said that, I like the freedom that comes with pulling on a trailer. I routinely back into spots in everything from truck stops to casinos that simply aren't available to anyone else. Its a nice to have not a need to have but i still prefer it. Storage for a little trailer like ours isn't a bid deal as for the most part it just rolls under the back of the motor home like a dolly. Maybe 5 or 6 feet sticking out max.
There's no one right way to do stuff but we all have our druthers. For me I can't imagine going back to 4 down anytime soon (the smart car can be towed either way as it is really a standard without a clutch pedal) . But to have a little trailer you also need a little car, which obviously isn't right for everyone. :)
