Two years ago, we decided to explore the RV lifestyle. For the past decade, we had been touring by motorcycle, specifically with a sidecar. We initially took a few local trips with our RV and even purchased a flatbed trailer to haul the motorcycle/sidecar rig, which worked well. However, at 81 years old, I began experiencing health issues last year that forced me to sell the motorcycle after 58 years of riding.

Our current car is a Subaru that cannot be flat-towed (with all wheels on the ground) and is too heavy for our flatbed trailer. We are now looking for a suitable secondary vehicle to tow behind our Class C RV for exploring local and forest roads. I am considering a street-legal side-by-side, as it would easily fit on our trailer, though I have never owned one. Alternatively, if I were to tow a vehicle on the ground, I am thinking about a Jeep or another smaller vehicle with a manual transmission. What would you recommend?
 
I would recommend you flat tow, at 81 you want to make it as easy as possible.
 
I had a street legal side by side that I sold recently and purchased a used 2014 wrangler to flat tow. It is the best offer both worlds for off road and running around town. I'm too lazy to drive a stick anymore so got an automatic.
