Smart Car
Thinking about getting a Smart Car to pull behind my motorhome. I searched on subject but did not find anything. Is there anyone out there that can tell me if it can be done? Anything to look out for...

What is your average mpg on the hiwway? Also at 1800 lbs do you bother with toad brakes if you are not over your GVWR?
Although I don't tow mine four down I'll throw this out there. One of our friends tows without a supplemental brake although he had one from a previous toad. He used to set it up but never turned it on...I'm thinking that was more of legal CYA thing but I don't know. He doesn't bother now.
Most of the people in our club with gas smarts exceed the MPG ratings by about 3 to 4 mpg on the highway so low to mid forties. Depends a lot on the driving style.
Ours are diesel or Electric so not a fair comparison. We have been towing the diesel on the trailer but next year will start to tow the electric on the trailer as we don't ever seem to go more than 60 or 70 miles a day from where we are staying.
