You would need to check with Hyundai about towing with two wheels up. We looked at getting a small pickup and the Santa Cruz was an interesting one. I like power to weight ratio and that one filled the needs with its optional larger engine. That said, it could not be flat towed in any configuration. We have all been there with tight spots and having to disconnect the toad for manual "pushback" myself included. At one point I had maybe 1.5" of space to clear a protruding mailbox on a small county road while negotiating a NYC U-turn in a 70' combo. Not fun and certainly will get your hairs and nerves on edge. We think that long range heavy duty Ebikes might be an answer to some of our destinations. Sometimes we really do not need a car since we travel primarily to larger cities. Of course you are dependent on weather too. Don't let the 270 gallons of fuel tank give you comfort. It is the equivalent of a new coach's 200 gallon tank in terms of range. I have 314 gallons and will get about 1400 miles range if I keep at or below the speed limit.
Regarding regrets?... Well that is a tough one. I tend to buy on emotion. Worst kind of spender there is and money doesn't mean crap to me in terms of saving for the future. What I mean by that is my wife and I live to enjoy and sometimes it can be above our means. Retirement?! Ha! "Welcome to Walmart" Yep, that will be me from my dumb financial mistakes. Our retirements accounts nosedived in the last 20 years. Should have kept it under a mattress or bought more properties. Nope, Instead we beauty up the house, bus and enjoy a meal out more than necessary. So, Enough about me! I think you are smart enough to know that RV's are no different than owning a boat, plane or pool. The smaller they are, well, that doesn't make a difference. They all require constant upkeep whether you use them or not. A large motorhome new or old will always require money even if it just sits. We have been blessed to earn enough to waste more than save. Every one has their own goals, dreams and most importantly, financial capability. My discretionary funds may be off key from another's.

It has been said or written somewhere that a typical class A motorhome will extract around 10k a year whether those wheels are moving or not. I didn't believe it at first and said, "Aw, I can fix it and not pay anyone!" That may be true, but parts still cost money as well as your time. Factor in insurance (Get good coverage as these things can go up in flames for no reason)

I may be missing other things but what I want you to focus on is to remove the emotion out of it and really think about the ongoing costs. Not trying to dissuade you but this is my answer to your question on "Regrets" (I don't have any other than it would have been nice to find a coach that met my needs exactly and at my price point)
