My parents had a Class C of approximately the same size, after using it a few times, determined they did need to tow. They bought a Chevy Cobalt and a Blue Ox tow bar set up. It cost them about $3K for tow bar, toad brake and installation. (the Cobalt required the whole front cowling be removed and then replaced for installation). Towing the car was super simple. hooking up the tow bars and brakes took about 5 minutes, even for my 75+ year old mother.
I drove the MH towing the car and would forget it was back there. Several times, I looked in the mirror and wondered why that little white car was dead on my butt, then would realize it was our Toad. it is a totaly different experience from towing a trailer. When I drive my truck and tow my TT, I NEVER forget it is back there.
I took them on a two week trip that we used the toad a lot. It was nice having a small car to negotiate the narrow streets in historic Natchez. It was nice to have the car to negotiate the busy streets of downtown Baton Rouge (including being in town on a home game Sat for LSU). They also used the toad when they camped in parks that were a long ways from civilization. When they were overtaken by ants, it was great to have car to drive the 20+ miles to any type of store that had ant spray. It was nice not to have to stow everything in MH, disconnect and drive the MH to the store (that did not have a place that MH could have parked-- we would have had to park it on side of highway and hope it wasn't hit by logging trucks on the way to pulp plant)
