Hello everybody,

THanks

+1000!! No way.

I suppose it depends what you are planning to tow. Oh. And for the record, never have I claimed to be in my right mind. I have been there a couple times and it was always boring. :).





This shot is good for seeing the battery and dometic fridge. The fridge has a weather cover over it for travel. Without the Kayak it comes in at under or around 500 pounds.



We set it up as a temporary guest house in the yard once and I took a picture with the solar panel out.


We made the battery pack from a battery box and an AGM battery as well as a few other widgets for connecting.



And a top down.



If you are going to cut a hole in the rear panel it will end up looking like this if you get the little cover.



This little setup has added a whole new dimension to the full time lifestyle.

Having seen some of the trailers designed for motorcycles, etc...they do offer some improvement over sleeping in a tent. Very limited storage space. No idea what they cost, but may not be equal to the usability.

Bumpy is referring to this thread which was also started by Robb. The question was fully answered and this is really just a double post. I'm sure there is not much more to say on the subject.

Hate to break it to you, but your SMART car will probably not tow much more that these:

I think even a TAB would be too heavy for you. You might be able to pull a fold up trailer that the Gold Wing pulls, but.............................? JMHO
