ERA towing a Smart Fortwo FYI

[Chirpnchicks]

Fri night at Rocky Knob CG, near Floyd, VA my neighbor had an 09 ERA (24 ft.) Tennessee plates with a ForTwo in tow on an aluminum carrier.
We spoke for a while and compared notes.

Regarding the rig: He has 100k on the odo, tours 3-5 months per year, replaced glow plugs twice, third set of tires, never used the awning, frig/freezer not working as well as earlier years, always leaves power sofa in bed position. Not aware of rv.net but he is now.
Bought the Fortwo last year because he got tired of using the ERA as an everyday drive.
In common: Love of touring, hit and run camping.
Not in common: He's single, early retired and without pets.

The Smart "Fortwo" is probably the best toad people can buy and tow. It is light, gets great gas mileage, will get a kick out of driving it, plenty of room for 2 adults plus some groceries, will not know you are pulling it, and requires no tricks to be able to pull it.
