We flat tow and aren't interested in any other way. We've have had a couple of instances where we had to unhook the toad because we got ourselves in a bind somewhere and as mentioned, we couldn't back up the motorhome. You'll quickly learn to scout where you're going BEFORE you blindly forge ahead...LOL Sometimes things have to be learned the hard way, I guess - for us anyway. But, it wasn't the end of the world either. We easily re-attached the toad, ran it through the necessary steps, and were on our way.
