I have driven over 400k miles in a class A with a toad and 17 years. Now in a 29 foot and can take it or not. Most of the time I do not go with my toad. I found I can go everywhere I need to go and see 90% with no issues. I love having the coach in a park, we have a kitchen and bathroom and we can also spend a hour or more watching buffalo move or take a nap by a running stream. I would go without if you are not going into a city.. when we go to the city or the beach I will tow the Jeep. So. It depends but a really long trip to the parks is easier without the toad.
