I'll answer that, David:
I'm going to toe the car behind a class "C" motorhome. I'm going to
be staying in campgrounds once I get east of the Mississippi. Not all
campgrounds have pull-through spaces. Also, there have been times when
I've been forced into a situation where I have to back the rig, no
matter how vigilant I am in trying to avoid that situation. I can't see
the towed vehicle from the driver's seat until it's almost jacknifed.
For the above reasons I must be able to disconnect the car and drive it
at a moment's notice.
I have been flat towing an `88 Yugo 4-speed for many years, so the
above is experience speeaking. Also, if you can get all the equipment
out of the M/H, jack the car, put it on jack stands, unstrap the
driveshaft and connect it and set the car back down in 15 minutes,
you're a damned sight faster mechanic than I am. I'd also like to see
you do it in a McDonalds parking lot at lunch time. ;^)
