"TO tow or not to tow, that is the question"

"TO tow or not to tow, that is the question"
In the first couple of months of my Motorhome experience, seven years ago, I got
myself badly angled into the lane at a Canadian border crossing. I told them I
couldn't back up attached, and they had to close down that lane while we
unhooked the toad.

In other words, I bought into the CAN NOT back up on a Toad education.

Since then I've backed a toad many, many times. Sometimes short, sometimes 50
feet or more. My Sterling tow bar is just fine, as are the vehicles that were
pushed. It helps to understand the process and try to back on the same curve to
keep the toad steer tires from turning against the caster, but I've even backed
with toad tires fully swung sideways, slowly skidding them (on a loose surface).
Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do!

Al,

Thanks for the info. So really the ideal vehicle to pull is a 4wd,
maybe kinda light and maybe even some type of scooter on the back of the
4wd? Do you have any photos of your set-up?

make sure that if you choose a toad from a list of models make sure that

sometimes and one year vs the next might not work.

the bath and kitchen, and how they can annoy you after awhile. I totally
agree, and can easily see where that would become the biggest issue,
even within just a few weeks. Now, even the older `birds tend to have ok
sized galleys, but the bathrooms are smaller, especially the sinks, and,
boy, are their showers small! Look carefully at those when you attend a
rally, maybe even ask if you can stand in the shower, and imagine that
for months at a time! The shower in my SP is plenty roomy, and I
remounted the showerhead up high. It's nice. And the swing-wall bath is
a wonderful thing! I don't know if you're interested in more info about
considering a motorcycle instead of towing a car, or if you're even into
bikes at all, but here's some thoughts on it. From what I understand,
the biggest hassle with toads, is not all these hardware issues and
expenses that have been detailed on this thread, but the fact that you
can't (hardly) back up. The benefits, of course, are that it seats 4,
it's more comfy, with heat and AC, and you're in out of the rain. But
I'm figuring that if it's really bad weather, I'm probably not going to
go-see-do much that day, anyway. So for me, the fun of the bike, and the
benefits of no-tow, outweigh the drawbacks. By the way, our Vespa has
tons of lockable storage. Plenty for camera gear, I'm sure, because you
can fit two full face helmets under the seat, plus a little more room
under there, and then there's the whole extra accessory trunk, which is
huge as well. We have put 8 bags of groceries in this scooter! Oh, and
we use 4 electric bicycles when we have 2 guests, to bike into town, see
the sites, etc., they're great! `Sorry this is so long, -just some more
food for thought.

I have wondered about backing with the Toad, especially if you put the Wife get
into the Toad and have her steer? (Might be much easier and safer just to
unhook). Otherwise, I have backed up as far as a foot or so..................

"TO tow or not to tow, that is the question"
Backing with a toad is doable, if there is soft/loose soil/gravel, if the tires swing the wrong way. I've done it a few times for rather short distances. Some cars with less caster might stay stable for a longer backing distance. -- Years ago, I can recall test driving a used car with minimal caster and excessively strong power steering. I was used to letting my car 'find itself' while straightening out on a turn -- but that one, had to be moved back to "straight ahead." (I didn't buy that car...)
Indeed, some older Subarus are not suitable for use as a toad due to insufficient caster -- they won't tow reliably on a tow bar.

"TO tow or not to tow, that is the question"
Galley size is a big issue. Yes, 'birds tend to have OK sized galleys -- but if you have a 'from scratch' cook (as I do) it can be a little restrictive for a lot of vegetable chopping and other more elaborate food preparation tasks. My wife also likes to cook 2 or 3 meals ahead (to reheat in the microwave) -- and the small oven/cooktop make that more of a challenge for her.
Showers (and bath rooms generally) are usually OK in the WB 'birds and the walk through type work pretty well. But, over time, the lack of size tends to "get to you." It's the simple things -- dropped the soap, once, hit my head on the shower door handle while picking it up and ended up with a big bloody hole in my scalp. (No stitches required, but it was clearly something I've never experienced at home.)
It's true -- with a toad, you generally can't back up -- or not more than 4 or 5 feet, mostly. The toad's front wheels are stable in the forward direction due to the "caster" in the steering geometry. This natural stability works against you when going in reverse. The front wheels can turn the "wrong" way in reverse and potentially, the forces can bend and ruin the tow bar. Putting a spouse in the car to steer is a poor idea, as the forces unleashed can cause the steering wheel to turn very rapidly and without warning. It is unlikely that most people could overpower the forces. It is a potential injury.
One soon learns, when toad is attached, it's a one-way drive. In the past 3 years, we've had to do 'emergency unhooks' about 3 or 4 times. My wife helps, and we've gotten an unhook down to about 2 to 3 minutes, or less. (A rubber hammer can help, if the pins are a trifle uncooperative.) As I've gained experience, emergency unhooks have become rare -- in the past 18 months, we never had to do one...
