Agree. Four down is much more convenient if in a park for just one night and want to run out for a bite to eat. Also, many RV parks do not have storage for "extra" trailers.
Some cars can not be towed 4 down, none can be backed up 4 down, even when they can be you still have a lot of parts being worn.
Plus I can drop the jeep from the trailer faster than you can unhitch the 4 down towed. and I don't require a special wire harness for the towed, or do any thing special to unlock the steering or lube the tranny.
Be careful with which box trailer you buy. always load the car see how well it fits, how easy it is to tie down. etc.
and be certain how much the hitch on the coach will safely carry, some of the box trailers are very tongue heavy.
My favorite trailer for moving a car/etc is a U-Haul car carrier, simple 4 pin light plug, no brakes to worry about, and the tie downs are provided. At the price, you can't maintain your own trailer.
but if you are full time, do the math. :)
