I drove my 31 MH for years without a toad. Didn't need no stinkin toad.
If a town has a grocery store you have a parking spot period.
Then I went full time and 'everyone' said I just HAD to have a toad. I dug my heals in for about a year about getting one. I just couldn't justify paying money for a 'new' small car. I don't even like small cars! :B
Well while searching Craigslist I ran across a used one. It fit the bill in every way. Small, light, 4x4, 4 doors and tons of storage area and the most important factor cheap. I bought it and have not looked back and really wondered why I waited so long!
First and foremost "IMHO" the most important reason to have one is for breakdowns. I travel off the beaten path a lot and have 4 dogs with me. So MH breakdowns take on an whole nuther set of added problems.
My first breakdown, at first I had a total meltdown then thought....I have the toad!!! Call for a tow truck, unhook the toad, load the dogs in the toad, throw the keys to the tow truck driver and simply say call me when it's fixed.
Never thought breaking down in a MH could ever feel so good! :W
