The most reliable internet service will probably be the "hot spot" on your i-phone, then turn on your phone's WIFI if you are using a computer. If you are not streaming videos or playing on-line games, most i-phone WIFI's services will probably deliver enough service for minimal use (which it sounds like you do). If you are into on-line games or movie watching, like Netflix, then you may want to explore other options. More and more campgrounds are becoming WIFI available. But there are some draw backs that makes the usage a real pain in the neck. Namely, everyone else is using the same WIFI and the campgrounds system can run very slow. Still, it's an option. But... about the time you really need the campground WIFI, you'll find yourself in a park that doesn't offer it. So, campground WIFI is really not a reliable source either. Your phone is still the best.
About towing. You have a motor home and that will be your only method of getting anywhere. Every time you need to run to the grocery store, go to the campground swimming hole, or go to the local golf course, you'll need to break camp so you can use your motor home for transportation. This is the reason why folks have a toad, second vehicle, so they do not have to break camp to run around. It's your choice. Some folks use motor scooters, golf carts, small cars, bicycles, even Segways have been discussed on these forums. It really does depend upon your own individual needs. You may not need to ever run around, plan your grocery stops while enroute between campgrounds, and plan your black tank dumps also. But if not, you may need to re-think a second vehicle. Only you can make that choice.
