I've towed an 18 foot trailer up to PEI, Canada with a 4500 pound tractor plus other stuff on it. It was intimidating at first but after 850 miles it was like I had always done it. I like the idea of the car on a trailer and covered way better than towing the car itself. I like the idea of an enclosed trailer even better. My neighbor has a 1973 GMC Motor Home and tows an almost mint 2w drive 1996 Geo Tracker behind it. He has a special rig that is mounted to the frame (trackers have frames not unibody) and folds up when it's not in use. The most obvious problem with this set up is the damage that's being done to the front of his tracker from flying debris.

I'd hate to have to pull out the universal bolts and put them back in every time I wanted to use the car. If you're headed to a campsite and are staying put it wouldn't be so bad, but if you're touring and moving from campsite to campsite it'll get old fast even if you were getting better at it.
