Toad or No Toad ?- Grand Canyon road trip in a 23' class A

One year on a trip from Seattle towards the North Rim, Grand Canyon, we had a break down in our Winnebago...Limped to a fantastic Chevy-Winnebago dealer in St George.
We had to wait 5 days for a new clutch fan and radiator shroud..They guided us to Sand Hollow state Park to wait...
The rangers helped us find spots for the wait, more great folks...
Without having our Samurai following us wherever we wander it wouldn't have as much fun as we had exploring the areas around Hurricane.
Our rig is a 27' Superchief, swell to get around, but the Samurai is better!
Bring a Toad.......

We did it with no toad, and no reservations besides. Here's the thread. I wouldn't change a thing.

Grand Canyon and Utah NPs trip

Grand canyon, no need for a toad. Use the bus to get around. we stayed in Williams but used a toad to get to the canyon. the train is OK but expensive and you don't get enough time to explore.
Yellowstone you need a toad. July is peak time. It is crammed!! There is very little parking at the attractions, sometimes waiting 15-20 mins for a car space. No space for Class C's or above. Plus 1 bison on the road holds up traffic for MILES!! We did Alaska !6K on the Class A 6K on the Toad. Best trip ever.

With the size of your RV you simply don't need a toad, our rig at roughly 40' we don't leave home without one. Your choice overall anyway, lots of good advise thus far, plenty of pros and cons to either choice. Have fun out here in the West, hope all goes as planned, would be fun to read about your adventures here on the forum.

We just rent a car locally if needed. We did this at Yellowstone and it worked great. We did have to drive separately to get to the campsite but once settled it was well worth it.
And we didn’t have to worry about towing cross country.
