class c or tow trailer, which is better?
hi, we are considering small class C with out car tow or small travel trailer pulled by small SUV? Can anybody tell us if its a bad idea to have only class C and no extra car or is it better to to...

Reading the OP the thing that stands out is "small SUV." We just went through the same decision process as we also have a small SUV and car (Ford Explorer and Toyota Camry). It would be our first RV.
I didn't realize just how little a trailer my Explorer would pull "comfortably." Granted while some of the small TTs are very creative with space it seemed without a large SUV or pickup our options for a TT were very limited. Buying a large truck just for a TT--that we weren't sure we would even like (new to RVing)--was out of the question.
So we ended up with a 29' Class C. I figured that was a lot more comfortable than what our SUV could tow, TT wise. We eventually want to add the ability to tow a car--or my preference, motorcycle--but want to take a trip or two with just the RV to see how things go. We do like to check out the areas we travel to so we shall see.
Our first "trip" (less than a half hour away lol) we drove the RV and Camry to the CG. Turns out we really didn't need the car. But that was in Laughlin, NV--not exactly the sticks. ;)
BTW: My first post here.
