heres one: https://www.jaycoowners.com/forums/f...s-c-58595.html

I have a towable vehicle. If I ever get a class C, it will be made towable. I would not want to travel without a TOAD.

Always had a towed. We are downsizing from a 35 to 25' motorhome and will still have a towed.

We traveled with our Greyhawk and no toad for a few years. It was a hassle if we were not near a car rental agency or if we needed to travel far in a taxi (gets expensive). After about 5 years and no toad, we purchased a CRV that could be towed flat. We wouldn't be without a toad if we went back to a Motorhome.

Never going back from having a Toad, unless I move to a towable behind a pickup again. Having the freedom to go explore or replenish supplies is valuable to me. Cost of set up is somewhat prohibiting and gas mileage takes a hit, but it is worth the price of admission.

We have never gone anywhere without one. It only takes about five minutes to hook up, and it tows well. We've watched lots of people at campgrounds unhook their hoses, electrical supplies and sewers - what a hassle. Can't imagine. Also, when we go exploring, we go places that the motorhome can't!

Hi, not worth $20,000 + expense for vehicle. No need to hook up sewer hose every day, quick connect water connection, 5 minutes to disconnect elect. Or use genie. Never found any pace we can't take the mh..to each his own. Will work for us. We are out 1 wk monthly from april to oct...shopping, site seeing and etc...

We just downsized from a Diesel Pusher to our Alante 26X, we still take our Jeep Wrangler on most trips. We found that there is so much to see outside of where we are parked, we would miss so much of the good stuff. We often go out and "get lost", no map, no plan, no special direction, we have met some great people and get a real feel for a city or area beyond the RV Park or Campsite. When we don't take our Jeep, we take our bikes for a little exploring, most of the time we take bikes and the Jeep. JH
