Class C toads

So what does everyone that DOES pull a toad drag? Anyone ever drag a "SmartCar"??
  • 2010 Subaru Forester.

    It MUST be a manual transmission.


  • Last big trip, around 3K miles we left it home, never again. So easy to tow.
  • We tow a Miata Power Retractable HardTop (PRHT)

    This our second RV and third Miata to tow. Over 100,000 miles in RVing and 70,000 miles towing Miatas.

    Here is #1 and #1.

  • While not truly a "Toad" many like to bring their motorcycles with them. Here is a shot of my 87 BMW R80 RT in its custom trailer behind our 24' Nexus Class C:



    Bike and trailer weigh 960# and that is with some extra gear conveniently loadable in the trailer (firewood, propane etc.), I bring the bike more for the fun of cruising it in interesting places but it works just fine for a Toad. My bride and I sight see, shop and just enjoy touring from the back of the bike. Last summer we did 3 weeks in the southern Rockies and another 3 week trip to northern California. We ended up towing the bike a lot farther (5,000+ miles), then we rode it.

    If you think about it (albeit out side of the box), sometimes 2 wheels make a lot of sense. Waaay more fun than just about anything on 4 wheels and 50 mpg to boot. Works for me.
