What is your GCWR? I have never seen a class "C" rated to tow over 5000# many are much less. What is the weight of the car you are thinking about towing? Add that to the weight of the trailer.
This has been discussed maney times.
Having to use a trailer adds a whole additional level of challenges and difficulty to traveling with your RV. I have used a dolly and now tow 4 down. I have never had to use a trailer but we have some people in one of our clubs that use a trailer. Having watched them fight through the problems was plenty for me.
Problems like parking. Yes, you can find some campgrounds with long enough pull thrus that are long enough that you are ok. If not you have to park the trailer some place that may not be easily accessible with the coach. If you might need the car you have to unload the car park the trailer, unhook from the trailer, go back to your spot and setup. Now when in the morning or when you leave you have to tear down your site, maneuver back where the trailer is, hook up the trailer, load the car on the trailer and secure it, get ready to hit the road. Lots of work for an overnight stop.
Now a lot of this is going to depend on your physical ability.
