When we travel in the MH, most of our CG stays are one night only (unless we need to do laundry!). We do 120 to 180 miles between CGs and do our sightseeing on the way. We don't consider a toad to be necessary.
Our '03 Kia Sedona weighs 4800 pounds and with aux braking, transmission lube system and tow bar hardware, would be over our 5000 pounds hitch limit. We don't consider a toad to be required by our RV lifestyle - it would be nice, but not worth the expense to sell the Sedona and get something lighter.
