Must I have a toad with a 27' Class C?

I've traveled around 40,000 miles in a 32' class C without a toad, and seldom if ever wished I had one. A whole lot depends on where you're going and what you're doing and how long you tend to stay in one place.
In general, I haven't had too much trouble finding places to park in towns or suburbia for the things I've wanted to do. Shopping for groceries works out fine if I can plan ahead enough to do it while en route between stops, avoiding the need for a separate trip. Big cities are another matter altogether; parking is hard enough for a car, and often practically impossible for an RV. I do quite often use public transit, a bicycle, and/or a good bit of shoe leather to get around destinations, and sometimes choose to go places where that's practical in preference to those where it isn't. I also don't tend to stay too long at at any one place--pretty much never more than a week.
If, say, you're retired and will spend several weeks at a campground, a toad would probably be a no-brainer. There is no one ideal solution that suits everybody equally well.
