We would not be without a toad no matter the size of the RV. Recently, we were in Arkansas and the people across from us had a Sprinter Airstream 22 footer. They would leave during the day and what an ordeal to pack up everything then unpack (awning, chairs, grill, etc.).
I'm one of those different folks with different strokes.
The key to not having an ordeal to pack and unpack everything is to simplify what gets packed and unpacked. It's not much difficulty to unplug an electric cord and drive down from leveling blocks. The more fru-fru that gets set up when camping the more there is to un-setup afterwards.
I suspect to some extent, a toad becomes more necessary when you have one because it's trickier to maneuver and park a motorhome with a toad than one without when sightseeing or shopping. I'm not at all suggesting that it's a bad way to do things, just that the presence of a toad in itself makes it harder to use the rig rather than the toad for running around.
