How lightweight and simple could an enclosed trailer be and still carry a Smart Car? They are about 9' long and 5' wide. Say 2000 lbs. There'd have to be enough room to get in and out of it, tie it down, etc.
We have a friend doing exactly what you are talking about. His only complaint is the tie down procedure which is really difficult in a small trailer. An open trailer is a lot easier to deal with.
Ours is the set up in the pictures above. It has worked for us for about 8 years. I agree with comments recommending a test drive. The standard (automated standard albeit) is not every ones bag as some are expecting it to feel like an automatic transmission as the American versions have Park, drive, neutral etc on the stick. Mercedes thought it would do better in the USA if they made it look like an automatic. Reliable, fun to drive and inexpensive on fuel. Get the convertible and it is a blast. We have been driving smart cars for almost 10 years and love them. Angela is now driving an electric which is an option for you if you are going to tow on a trailer. Keep in mind though, max 150 KM range in the city though or around 115 on the highway. Amazing performance though. It'll dust off most muscle cars in the first 60 kmh
Happy travels.
