very common in europe. I saw a smart car pulling a camper nearly that size. Its just a US thing that people think you have to have a big ol' truck to haul a camper. Oh yea, and you can camp in a camper less then the size of a semi trailer.

I just keep wondering if my car will pull my euro camper.... It would still void the US warranty though... :roll:

I tow my Mini PickUp behind my Cooper S. The MINI has a 1500 LB towing limit but the dealer doesn't like to admit that.

I had it maxed out for this trip with almost 400 LBs of stuck in the ruck bed. I bet I was pulling close to 1600 LB. Had no problems. Will be doing the same for MITM.
