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

I fell in to this completely restored 74 GMC. We are planning a trip from NC to California via Grand Canyon and other major sites. Wife and I and two boys- 10 & 13.

I'm just looking for opinions on whether or not i'll regret not having a TOAD.

At 23 feet the GMC gets around pretty well but will it work to to explore the big parks, also planning to do Yellowstone in the way back.

Also, my wife and i are older (like 110 between us)

thanks

Class A

Why would you not want to tow a toad? Not having a toad will limit and be more inconvenient on your trip.

I would be taking the toad.
Day tripping in it will give you better touring advantages and easier on MH driver. Some areas have roads that are not always the widest for MH.

In some cases there are buses which can help with accessing areas within the parks GC for example, but for most a toad would be preferred . If you are in or near towns you may be able to rent a car for side trips, but in many areas that doesn't work.

Can't answer your question but I'm very jealous of a Grand Canyon trip in a restored GMC!
