Yes, the Smart in the photo is 98.4" long.

I don’t see swivel wheels in either of the pictures posted, and I don’t know of a carrier rated to carry more than a 1000 pound load… that doesn’t mean they aren’t out there, but few Class A’s chassis and suspensions would be able to support much more than 1200/1400 pounds total even with the chassis enhancements required… the next problem is the front to back length of most lifts/carriers is only 48 inches, not enough for a Smartcar…

As neat as it may look, Without knowing more about these setups, I would have to think they are both overloaded, illegal , and unsafe…

I know, I know, someone will eventually say they have done it for a million years and a billion miles and even some off-road use in the mountains and never ever had a single problem… and still it wouldn’t make it OK, legal, or safe…

Everyone knows that you can't carry your bicycles or your Smart Car on the bumper. They are only strong enough to hold the sewer hose.

Well....they say the bumper is only good for a spare!!!

Cargo carriers, Bike lifts, etc. on MH's are NOT mounted on the bumper. They are welded and some incorporate the hitch which is also welded to the frame.

This is an example of a "bike" lift. They make another model for heavier items.

Check out the fine print as well...

I like the cute little tires

I have seen quite a few of those on the road.

If I could have put my toad on a lift like that it sure would have made RV'ing a whole lot easier! Totally eliminates having to worry about being trapped after pulling in somewhere and realizing you can't get out towing 4 down!

I hate it when they get caught in the duals. Make one hell of a racket but they pry out easily.

One will never convince me about the safety and other propaganda with a Smart Car. Great toys for a playground but not anywhere else for me.
