I can't imagine being without a toad on the road. What happens when:
EXCELLENT ADVICE!!!!
1. You're out of beer?
2. You get in the refer to fix dinner and find out the tomatoes for the salad have gone bad? It's either no salad for the night or disconnect the MH to go to the store?
3. You pull into the parking area at Mt Rushmore and there's no parking places left for a MH, but there's plenty for cars? Do you skip Mt Rushmore?
4. You go down to Canyon Land in southern Utah and you can't go down over the edge of the canyons like everyone else because you can't do it in a MH.
5. You're camped in Oregon and you hear there's high surf warnings so you want to go down the road (to a safe area) and take pictures of the surf. You're going to pull up the MH for that and then try to find a place on the side of the road to park, and then turn the MH around?
6. You're camped in Redwood areas, you aren't going to see a lot because the good LITTLE sightseeing roads don't accommodate MHs. Or if you do try to squeeze down them, you're so busy watching the road, the very large trees on the side of the road that your mirror is about hit and other traffic that you can't do any sightseeing, let alone suddenly pulling over to take some neat pictures of the sunlight coming down through the redwoods.
7. Back to the Mt Rushmore area - you can't fit a MH on the Iron Mountain Hwy or the road up to Needles. Two great areas that you're going to miss. Why did you go to that area of the country if you can't see the best sights?
8. You're in Yellowstone and you want to pull over to take pictures of the buffalo, elk, rivers, etc, and you can can't because the pull offs are very small - no room to pull over a MH.
9. You're in the southwest - what are you going to do, just stay on the paved roads? If you're going to, then you're wasting your time down there.
10. You're in an RV park for several days and the sink faucet is leaking so you decide to work on it. While you bought what you thought you needed to fix it, in the end you need more parts or stuff. What do you do then, pack up and unhook everything to make a run to the RV parts store or Home Depot?
11. You want to go eat at a restraint. How many good restaurants have parking for your MH? Or, if you get parked, when you go to leave and other cars have parked around you so that you can't get out. What if you want a burger from Burger King, how many of them can you get your MH into?
12. You need to take your MH into a shop for some work that will take a day or two. Are you going to sit there in their waiting room (if they have one) or go rent a car?
Sure you can get by without a toad, I just wouldn't find it an enjoyable trip at all and would rather stay home.
