As if the Smarty wasn't getting enough exposure already, we managed to get into yet another publication. I just looked over Little Guy's 2008 Printed Catalog and they featured my pic in a centerfold! We are getting into more and different avenues of 'free advertising' every day.
FYI for anyone interested, I spoke to Chris Baum who is the Director of Global Development at Little Guy and he said he would offer anyone with a Smart Car a Travelmate for $1995 (US Dollars). That's $1,000 lower than MSRP...I wish I got 30% off my trailer...Travelmate specs
just remember to ask for him and tell him you are from this board...
I think they see what our cars are all about and why people think they are so great...plus, I drive a hard bargain
As a general note - check out motorcycle trailers (i.e. trailers designed to be towed BY motorcycles) as a viable source of lightweight, easily towed trailers.
you can tow the smart on all four wheels behind your RV!
Here is the answer I was given from Smart USA rep:
Dear smart Enthusiast, The US model of the 2008 smart fortwo can be flat-towed on all four wheels behind another vehicle, such as an RV. We are aware that the current owner's manual states that the smart fortwo cannot be flat-towed. This is referencing the European model's towing capabilities, which have been modified for the USA. We are in the process of correcting this information in all US owners' manuals. smart USA currently does not provide a tow bar accessory at our smart centers. However, any commercial RV retailer should be able to make or adapt an existing tow bar for the smart fortwo. The smart's bumper structure is already designed to accommodate a tow bar. We have a modification procedure to easily accommodate a tow bar to the front structure of the vehicle behind the bumper, and have already provided these instructions to all smart centers. If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact us via email or by phone at 1.800.smartusa. Thank you for your interest in smart USA. You will be hearing from us soon!

we bought a new one last week - now we are waiting for the "toping" and it's getting a lot of paint (black and white of course ;)) and maybe a "lowering"...
