?? single wheel trailer??? I didn't think they could handle that much weight, perhaps you meant a single AXLE trailer??

I am always amazed at the 5th wheel with a trailer combinations. Thats a lot of length to pull. Don't know if I'd be brave enough to try it.

Do you have any pictures?

IMO a small trailer is good option versus flat towing. Saves tires and the trailer always doubles as trailer for uses other than just towing the Smart.

Tie-downs?

Your pic doesn't seem to show any tie-downs; am I just blind, or did you add them later?

The car wasn't tied down yet in the earlier pictures.
