Wife and I went for 3 or 4 years w/o a towed, We just timed all shopping and such so as to minimize miles and gallons of fuel.
Finally got a towed and crashed it 4 days later which is why I am now a single camper... Got a new towed though
Basically it is how much fuel do you want to burn going to the store for supplies, going to church, and such... I do church 2x a week in the winter (one in the summer) and hit the store on the way back to the campground.

When we downsized from 37 feet to 25.5 we were planning on not towing and using our motor home to get around. Bear in mind ours is fairly small and only 94" wide so fairly easy to get around in!
That thinking lasted for one trip! Took us three days to find an available rental! Enterprise charged us $67 for 2 days, and I bumped my head on that compact numerous times!! Also, didn't love the thought of having to leave our 2 dogs in various parking lots with the generator on. Always worried about a break in and the possibility of losing them!!
When we returned from that trip, I started researching suitable toads as the Dakota we had previously towed was bigger than we wanted with this smaller RV. That search led us to our Ford C-Max Energi, which we love. Would not want to go back to toadless!!
Only down side we have seen is that we are not able to carry our portable dump tank easily as we did in the pickup. Working on that!! ๐
Since you will be full timing, I would think you would appreciate a toad even more!!
