Yet another short C running toadless question...

The only reason we will take the toad is to go places where the RV can't which often means 4 wheel drive. At Sequoia the road up the hill from our campground was too narrow and twisty for the RV so the toad was the ticket. Other times it has been convenient to have the toad but not a "must have". We take it only when we feel we'll need it. On our month long national park trip in the spring the toad was very useful.
