If we were full-timing, there's no question about the necessity for having a toad. But we're not. Most likely (if we do decide to purchase again) we will take two or three long trips per year -- long enough that renting a car wouldn't be a problem. As for "the ability to get help if stranded on a road out of cellphone range . . .," that could happen in a car when traveling as we do now.Jim Dick said:Bob,
I wouldn't leave home without my toad. ;D Of course, in our circumstance there's no way we're going shopping in a 40' coach. My concern, outside the expense, would be having a convenient rental agency nearby whatever campground I had chosen. I respect the desires of those that don't want to tow but I just couldn't travel without it. One benefit could be the ability to get help if stranded on a road out of cellphone range and on a deserted road. Probably wouldn't happen but it's nice to know there's a way to get help.
Two springs ago we were in northern CA at Inyokern. Spent two weeks there traveling some distance in the toad seeing the sites. I'm sure we could have rented some type of vehicle but it was nice to be in my own. Being able to just hop in a go is a decided advantage IMHO.
Happy holidays!
