Towing a car behind your camper
What is your experience towing a car or truck behind your camper. It is worth the hassle and expense? Do you find it better than unloading your camper and driving the truck? Pro's and Con's ?

Truck and camper fits in a parking space, we don't unload it and we don't tow a car .
The few times that we really needed a car to do whatever....we rented one.
On short trips for a few days bringing a car for us is pointless. When we go for a longer stay, we tow a utility trailer outfitted with all our toys.
It can haul a motorcycle or a pair of scooters as well.
We do own a 2013 Chevy Sonic (2700#) that we bought to flat tow, but after researching that option, we decided against it.
Buying all the needed gadgets to flat tow can be expensive ($3500) and not worth it for the few times we really needed to have something smaller than a 20 ft camper.
For flat towing you might need a better ($$) tow bar that can be removed from any angle on uneven terrain. The cheaper ones don't do that .
To tow on a dolly is...not worth the bother for us and the people that do agree, it gets old fast.
