Fiat Sport flat towing

Just got back from a 450 mile round trip with the Fiat. All Blue Ox gear. 2400 pound weight, no noticeable decrease in MH performance. 5 speed manual transmission...parking brake off, in neutral and key in my pocket (no locking steering). Flat tow. Cable hookup has MH charging to toad for battery charge while using RVI2 breaking system...perfect setup IMHO.

6’-4” 225 lbs...no problems..except you would have to have your legs removed to sit in back behind me.

DW and I are empty nesters, Fiat is our third car mainly used for towing, although take out once or twice a week for errands and use battery tender if needed.

Next major MH trip, including toad...EAA Oshkosh Airventure. Slightly less than 5k miles, in about 5 weeks from now.

I wouldn’t want to drive from CA to NY...but to zip around areas it is fun. Plus gas mileage is great.
