a trailer has its own set of problems some of which include:

• most campground don't have slots large enough to accommodate a coach, trailer & car
• storage issues / cost (at home & while camping) most campground DON'T have storage.
• less maneuverability / added length
• additional weight (lower mpg / added fuel cost).
• connect, disconnect, loading & unloading time

It's gonna take a pretty big / heavy trailer to haul an 8k lb f350.

Personally i don't see a TOAD (assuming its a good one) as a problem, especially with our type of coaches, the supplemental brakes aren't (technically) required (since its not a trailer and were it not a liability issue i wouldn't even bother with 'em
