Tried to find under search but no luck.
Just got our MH back. Trailer and the car we put on the trailer have been sold.
So
This time we are thinking a TOAD. (tried every other form of secondry transport)
Question, can someone remind me which automatics can be towed flat.

 

[Flairy]

We towed our smart car for many years but I must say it was more trouble than it was worth ,like when you need to reverse ,when looking for a parking spot on a stellplatz or needing to turn round .

 

[David and Sally]

Toyota Aygo has a robotised manual box so good to tow.

A lot of the information you need will be in this recent thread:

Small automatic car that can be flat towed

My wife is thinking of buying a new car to replace her 17 year old Skoda Fabia VRS. We are wondering if we should aim for one that can be flat towed behind the motorhome. Any thoughts on a smallish automatic that is good for flat towing? I think electric cars are a non-starter as I do not think...

Nah, that would be navarac!

Isn't that a small town in the Dordogne?

We are all waiting for the usual "You may as well tow a caravan if you want to tow a car" which of course is nonsense!

"If " I could tow a caravan with hydraulic jacks, double door fridge freezer, ice maker, 5kw built in generator, glass double glazing 60' TV with surround sound as well as external TV's for watching rugby with mates, quad slide outs, massive black and grey tanks I perhaps would consider towing a caravan, domestic shower and WC plus loads more I could consider it

Until then, I'll drive the RV that has all of this, and tow a small, tiny "run a round" on an A Frame behind my camper for the days that the bikes won't cut it

In addition it becomes a trailer/garden shed to chuck the table and chairs in when moving from place to place, or are we saying that if anyone has a trailer, they should also be condemned to driving a caravan as "what's the point?"
