Hi
Please don't beat me up if this is a worn question - but can we use our 2006 Prius as a toad for the class A that we are considering ?
Please tell me the best way to tow the Prius, 4 down or a dolly or what ?
Thanks in advance.

The best source for this info is the owners manual for your car. look in the back for "towing", "Recreational Towing" or "Dinghy Towing".

The only way to tow a Prius is with a tow dolly or on a flatbed trailer. Don't even attempt to tow it 4 down as you will cause MEGA-damage to the drivetrain. It states in the owner's manual that the Prius should NOT be towed 4 down.
