We are not full timers our Bus is 40 ft. we really like having the Toad with us for grocery shopping, visiting local sites of interest and breweries, it was really, really nice having it this last trip when the front wheel bearing went bad on the bus and we were stuck in a parking lot for 2 days.

We have a 2004 PT Cruiser with a manual transmission, we tow it 4 down in Neutral with a Roadmaster Falcon tow bar, once setup allows the car to be connected or disconnected in under 2 minutes, very convenient.

The PT Cruiser is very light and the Bus does not even know it's there, no difference in acceleration, stopping or fuel mileage, if it weren't for the rearview camera you wouldn't even be able to see it.

We also tow the Goldwing Motorcycle on a trailer on occasion.

I have always carried a Mountain Bike in the bay and have very recently upgraded it to an eBike with the addition of a Bafang Mid Drive kit, I like it a lot so far but have not ridden it enough to do any type of review on it, convenient for going to the camp store or scooting around to other campsites.
