Twice in 7 years, I've seen camper vans with smart cars attached.
I've been running around in a Class C, 28 footer for 7 fulltime years with no toad.
One thing to note is that, if you don't have a toad and are going sightseeing, you don't have to pack everything up. I leave behind hoses, chairs, table, patio mat, bicycle, grill etc. I come back and it's all there waiting on me. (Well I do lock my bicycle since it has wheels.) ;D
I pretty much keep my rig organized with things put away so I don't have much to do to get ready to drive. I have added fiddles in some places to help out (I'm an old sailor). For instance I installed fiddles around the bedroom end table so I can leave stuff on it and drive and it can't fall in the floor. My kitchen has fiddles so the big chopping board doesn't have to be put away and the fiddles keep it from banging to the floor.
My friend with a Pleasureway wanted to keep a round basket on top of his microwave, to hold useful stuff . The microwave vents out the back rather than the top. He asked me if I had any ideas how to make the wicker basket stay put. I plopped down 2 magnetic hooks I had on hand (now I have to go buy some more!) and that basket has never fallen in the floor. He thought my idea was rather ingenious.
Instead of a toad...
I did eventually learn to ride a bicycle (again!) and then I added an electric assist kit to it, so when I am tired or the head winds slap me, I can push the magic button for some help. Wheeeeee!
I get fabulous up front parking everywhere. I can ride on trails, beaches, streets, grass, dirt, pedways and many sidewalks that are largely unused. I absolutely LOVE sightseeing on the bicycle. So much more to see and I can stop anywhere and lock it to a post or tree or bike rack if need be. I am not athletic at all but I enjoy being out in nature.
