toad

A topic with endless posts about everything related to towing. Research the topic on this site. Easy.

I've only had to back up towing all 4 down once! The only time I would buy a trailer is if I owned a new Corvette or some other car that costs over 100K! And all that is not practical for me! The CRV is just fine!

With a trailer you have
+ Double the hook up time which is really a PITA if the weather is nasty out and just a bother the rest of the time
+ Another item to license and pay insurance on
+ Trailer bearings and brakes take more maintenance than wheel bearings or brakes on a toad do
+ Another item (24' long) to store either in the RV park, at home or paid storage
+ Trailer is more weight (2,500 - 4,000#) to tow around and not needed especially if you have a class C MH
+ The expense of buying the tailer
+ And I'm sure there are more reasons

In two years I've only had to unhook the toad twice. Actually I only remember doing it once, but then I usually never learn something the first time, so I'm sure there was a second time.......

Plan correctly and you don't have to back up. In 15 years of towing, I have had to unhook only twice and if I had paid attention, those could have been avoided.

For me it is the added weight and trailer storage problem. JMO
