Yes, it is very worth having a vehicle to drive around once you get there. However, you need to check the following:
Can your vehicle (model and year) be towed 4 down?
Is the hitch rated for the weight of the toad?
Is the weight of the RV, vehicle and all the contents of both greater than the GCWR?
We had an issue with a class C we were looking at with the GCWR. The hitch was rated at 5000 pounds so we could pull a 4500 pound Rubicon, but if we pulled the Rubicon, we would be at least 500 pounds over the GCWR. Not good.
