My wife and I have been fulltiming for four years now while working from our rv. We often travel to different locations while staying in an area and are using a Jeep and a scooter. We have been looking at some if the "micro" cars and considered pulling one and the Jeep on a trailer. My question is if anyone else takes along two toads and what your experience has been. Thanks.

2 smart cars on an ATV trailer that side-loads two ATVs. Just make sure that the trailer is wide enough to hold a smart car.

I thought the smart cars were 10' long. Won't that make you too wide at 120" not counting the trailer width?

The early Smart Cars were less than 102" Not sure you can call this towing.
This post is my opinion (free advice). It is not intended to influence anyone's judgment nor do I advocate anyone do what I propose.

The overall weight of both may come to play. If you have a 5000# tow limit as I do well that will be sucked up by the Jeep @ ~3200-3500# and ~1000# of trailer. Leaves weight room for a bike but not much else. Now if you have a 10K tow limit then you'd be golden, pick any small vehicle and load and go.
Although years ago I had a F350. I always wanted to put a Smart Car in the bed. So my truck could have a dinghy

We are preparing to go full timing.The DW has few more yrs to go so we are going to pull one toad and she going to drive her car.She at least got her job transfer to where will be staying most of her time close to job. So she needs her car to go back n forth to work while I go out on adventure.
