Check out the overall height of the car vs. the folks in the photo. I'm not sure how tall the Benz is but I think we've got a little more headroom.

My motorhome is only 28' long .... so the trailer is the only way my Allante is coming along. I know one fellow who drags his all over the place on a two wheel dolly but I'm not keen on the idea of the dolly wheels throwing road debris up on the side of my car.

I saw an Allante towed all four down..... must have had a transmission pump added for that one. It was behind a coach of similar size as in the photo.

Even though I'm up on 19.5's I don't think I've got the clearance to sling anything other than my generator under the bus.

On the other hand I can get the bicycles in the back real easy.

How would you like to change one of those tires or even pay for one?

Glen,

i'm still wondering how they get the car in there.

it is one thing to make the cavity big enough to fit the car,
but parking it inside .. ideas?

maybe i should locate the folks and ask them a few questions.

zinzin,

try something even simpler. the cost of a car wash for such a vehicle.

First off, you take it to Tiajuanna to get washed and a simple hydraulic lift platform you drive on, that slips into the Bus on rollers much like a dishwasher would easily work. Better stick to level parking lots for this operation however.
