Just an idea at the moment.
We currently tow a Piaggio MP3 three wheeled scooter when abroad. We will carry on doing this, or change to a car. Not towing something is not an option so I would be grateful if any negative comments re towing were not included here please. There is another thread running where those comments would be welcome.
The scooter gives us a lot of freedom which we like but we are limited to how long we are able/prepared to leave our medium sized German Shepherd in the MH. Hence we are considering whether a tow car would be a better option, especially as we would also use it as a second car at home so it wouldn't be sitting around at home either.
I have no idea if there are any small cars out there for this purpose that a) can also carry a GS and b) can also accommodate two adults including a 6ft 5in driver with long legs. We would not obviously be covering huge distances in it and at home it would be the wifes run around, so no problem there.
As always, budget is important, we would not be able to justify spending a huge amount on a car/trailer combo. Have seen Smart car/trailer combo's on here selling for around £3500 (which is what started me thinking about this) and that is around what we would want to spend, not a lot I know. A Smart would not accommodate the dog from what I have seen.
My one concern is that now when I occasionally take a wrong turn (never my fault) and have to do a swift about turn with the scooter, although it is about 240Kgs + trailer, i can quickly unhook it, spin it round then turn the MH and hook up again. is that also possible with a car/trailer?
Any suggestions as to what car would maybe suit our needs would be welcome.
Would be towing with a Swift KonTiki 669 Tag.
Thanks
Steve
