Is this why SUVs with manual transfercases are often towed behind motorhomes as well?

The thought of hitting one bump hard enough being able to damage my car in the belly is enough of a deterant.]]>Aug 27th 2006 6:20PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/
To the main post- This may look all fine and dandy on a weblog, but look where that "garage" is located. Instead of having all that space for basement storage, it is being occupied by your sporty little 2 seater. Some coach companies are adopting a mid-engine chassis and are putting the toy hauler in the back of the coach. It is still a pain though because in able to get the space tall enough to fit anything, they have to put the bed very high up and it makes it hard for the older people (the biggest group of motorhomers) to get on it.

All in all you are just better off towing a car that is capable of a 4 wheel on the ground tow. Besides, many cars are now towable, Saturns aren't the most popular anymore, one car that has been gaining in popularity is the Honda CR-V. It will be interesting to see if the new CR-V will be towable.]]>Aug 27th 2006 6:27PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/
-I assume I should just be shot if I ever become that stuck up.]]>Aug 27th 2006 6:49PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/Aug 27th 2006 7:13PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/Aug 27th 2006 7:51PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/Aug 27th 2006 9:06PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/Aug 27th 2006 9:08PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/Aug 27th 2006 9:14PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/Aug 27th 2006 9:31PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/Definitely shortens the the length disposing of the
"dinghy". I would rather have a roadtrek and a motorcycle.

Nope, after driving around all day in their massive motorhomes you wouldn't want folks to be even slightly environmently conscious and renting a car. Although for those very few occasions when you are not near a car rental counter (say, out in the boonies) I realize you will need wheels. But really? isn't a motorhome that is big enough to carry a small car inside it just a bit too big? What next? a collapsible helopad?]]>Aug 28th 2006 8:13AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/Aug 28th 2006 8:32AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/27/car-carrying-motor-coach-from-germany/Aug 28th 2006 12:55PM
