Rascal and Fortwo?

Here is the Rascal camper.

A small camper for a small car?

It has a 490 pound curb weight and a 50 pound hitch weight.
It seems small enough for a Fortwo to tow.

Proof that it can be towed by a Smart?

Now that's more reasonable. You could pack it up and still be under 800 lb.

BWG,

You've been hunting down some very nice trailers. Thanks for sharing. Me...just trying to find a matress for the Harbor Freight tag-a-long for when the wife gets mad at me while camping .

We have one of those (or at least one that looks identical) on the showroom floor at my work's main branch. Unfortunately it is a display only unit and they don't sell them. It'd be cool to get one but since the wife is funny about campers with no room I'd have to use it by myself for car shows (swap meets I go to for a couple days at a time). Right now I usually go with my dad and we just take the monster motorhome at a whooping 9mpg

I positively love the Leisurelite motor cycle trailer, even though it only offers a twin bed sleeping space. I understand that they have a larger version of it, but have yet to see one and have no idea as to the "trailability? of that one behind the smart.

What I want to find is a king sized air mattress version of the Leisurelite. Well, that and the spare four grand to buy it...
