We're here at the Quartzsite rv show in Az. I've seen two smart cars being carried by lifts on the back of 40 ft Class A rv's with tag axles. There is a vendor here selling one. I'll try and take a picture of one when I see it again. The smart car is being carried sideways much like you see motorcycles being carried.
The OP does not have a 40' motorhome with a tag axle.
Even if he did, just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
Can you image the engineer when they find out that somebody cantilevers an extra ton off the back of their DOT approved RV design. :S
Unfortunately the tounge weight of some of the big trailers these guys pull run upwards of 1500 pounds. You can buckle the frame of a diesel if you try hard enough, and the ones that do invariably pulled a trailer with a car in it.
