Being that I'd never been in the Black Hills, I came here seeking input/advice from fellow campers. Contrary to what your mocking might suggest, I discovered there are a few steep and/or tight roads in that area that RVers with Toads might want to know about.

T,
A friend tows a Mini on a trailer. He does this because that way the auxiliary brakes and lights are on the trailer and because he saves the price of the trailer ever time he goes around Chicago, across the Mackinac Bridge or east across PA. If you are planing to go places that are picky and tolly(?) it may be worth your while to get a very light trailer. If that is not in your plans, towing 4-down is much simpler. A trailer is easier to back, but a 4-down can be unhooked driven much faster.

Hold me, I'm scared...
We're planning a trip (from MN) to the Black Hills of South Dakota for 8 days. I have never pulled a "toad" before. The RV is a '01 32' Class C, and my car is a '11 R57.
I have some options, based upon my assumptions:
1. Tow Dolly
Advantages:
โข Lighter
โข Less expensive to rent.
โข Shorter overall length
โข Easier to stash at campsites.
Disadvantages:
โข My poor MINI may be at greater risk of potholes and road debris.
โข Pretty much impossible to back up. (If I care)
2. Car Trailer
Advantages:
โข Car is "safer" (especially on mountain roads)
โข No messing with aux lights.
โข I could back up if needed.
Disadvantages:
โข Longer overall length
โข More expensive to rent
โข A challenge to park at campsites.
