The money and time you will spend setting up a car to tow would be much more than a rental car at each stop. People that own their RVs don't have the constraints you do. They pick the right RV and set up the right vehicle to tow.
And one would literally need to camp in a city or a suburb or a major city or at a minimum a large town to even be able to rent a car within uber or delivery distance.
But it wouldn’t take too many days of that type of rental goat rope to set up a toad or buy a dolly.
Now, the OP could much more reasonably rent a dolly for however long and tow it behind the rental Moho if they can navigate that process.
Although they appear to be talking longer term travel stints or the dogs wouldn’t be an issue, until you’re kenneling or trying to get the neighbor to watch them for weeks at a time.
It’s a matter of having some sort of a basic plan that you vet out ideas or limitations that are non starters. Maybe they’re at that stage.

Provided their car can be towed on a dolly. To your earlier point, op needs to educate themselves on the requirements of towing a car. OP mentioned they have a jeep which can't be towed on a dolly. Only 4 down or a trailer. Could rent a trailer I guess ( huge hassle) but tow bars, base plates, wiring, etc to set up 4 down would be quite a bit of money. And doing it for one trip is a huge waste of that money. Either way, sounds like their RV is a stripped down made for rental from cruise America or a dealer and has no tow capacity. Personally, I'd rent a bigger RV from someone privately, rent a dolly and a car that can be towed on a dolly.

Ya who knows who they’re renting from. I’d be surprised if the commercial outfits allowed towing at all. The 2500lb number seemed random and strange. Never seen a Moho with a class 1 or 2 hitch. Don’t believe that actually exists in the normal world.
Anyway in the spirit of being vague the OP didn’t say what kind of Jeep they have. Several fwd models of Jeeps that would be a breeze to tow with a dolly.
Not the 4x4s and AWDs of course, without taking other measures as well.
