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?
With my 2009 Passion the sticker said the MPG is 33 City, 41 Highway. I've achieved as much as 51 Highway on I-5 in WA (and that was before I had the aftermarket cruise control installed).
Driving back and forth to town (13 miles 1 way) for errands and such, I regularly average 39 to 40 MPG.

If you're asking about motorhome MPG while towing then 1) the Triton V10 in my 30 foot E450 gets 5 to 7 MPG and nothing changes that, except a tail wind on I-84 West in OR when I got 9.1 MPG, and 2) the smart car is so short and narrow that it quite possibly is within the motorhome's draft (IMO). I get 5 to 7 with or without the car.
