It's your choice

As several others have said it depends on your personal preferences and style. I'll just add that the toad creates a lot more flexibility for us. For example, we did a loop a couple years back for 15 National parks, and about 30 National Monuments or Rec. Areas. Put about 7,000 miles on the 32' MH and almost 5,000 on the toad going to see the sites and take roads not suitable for an RV. The toad saved us over 350 gallons of gas vs MH mileage and allowed us to sightsee all day returning into the night to the setup MH site and not have to do all that once again. Park it for 2-3 days, then move on and do it again. Just an example North Rim of Grand Canyon was about 70 miles one way from where we parked the MH. Canyonlands has two areas. We parked in Moab and saw both sides and Arches. The two Canyonlands visitor centers are over 100 miles apart by road.

I can't really say that I saw any larger MH at the visitor center and parking our Jeep was not easy as the parking lots were pretty full. Driving the roads to the overlooks would not be a problem but most had limited parking. We visited in late Sept. so I am sure there were a lot less visitors than peak season.

I never use a Toad with my 21 rb Class C. I have driven it all over the country, backwoods, rural, city, lake, dog park, Walmart, museum, you name it.... if there is a flat patch of land, a curb or a parking spot I am in it.... park and lock and do my thing. Now my Class A that is another story...
