We have been camping for seventeen years. First, with a 24 foot, Class C, and later with a 28 foot, Class C. We have never towed. We simply try to plan ahead (example-stop at the grocery store before heading to the campground). If we go to a National Park, that doesn't have a shuttle system to get around, or if we go anywhere else we need a car-we rent one.
NOW, with that being said, if I could go back seventeen years when we started camping, I would have said-let's tow a car. I would say that about half the places we go-I still wouldn't want to tow a car, BUT there are also about half the places we go that I know it would be easier/nicer having a car. So, if you downsize, I would say tow when you need to and leave the car behind when you don't.
