Just trying to wrap my mind around this (as limited as it is), whats the problem with a toad, fear of towing or an economical problem.
For me, it's a combination of things. I don't fear towing, but I do understand that towing makes maneuvering and stopping en route somewhat trickier when gassing up, etc.
Then there is the cost of a tow setup, which is not negligible. (I would be much better off than some in this regard in that my car is readily towable.)
Then there's a number of state park campsites that are already somewhat tight with a 32' motorhome and would be even tighter with the motorhome and a towed car. Setting up and breaking camp would likewise be a little more involved; I think it's nice to have the freedom to back in and be all set. (Well, back in, and get out the leveling ramps, and be all set.)
Then there's the thought that at some point I might want to carry some canoes and bikes and so forth on a trailer, and very few states permit recreational double towing when the head trailer is not a fifth wheel trailer.
And finally, there's simply the fact that, so far, I haven't really felt any need to have a towed--that is, for the sort of camping and travel I've done, I can't say I've ever particularly pined for a smaller vehicle.
Other people may very well have different experiences and priorities and quite reasonably come to different conclusions for their own uses.
