    Question Dinoot and the Fiat 500?

    Could the Fiat 500 pull a small trailer like the Dinoot?

    "The Extended Sleep-In Camper is the Extended model with the addition of a hard tonneau cover and drop down fabric side curtains. When it is bed time; simply pop the cover open and drop the side curtains down to convert your trailer into a comfortable camper. "

    I imagine as long as it does not exceed 700 lbs total capacity including the passenger(s) (I think it is 700) you should be capable of having this attached.

    panel weight - Compact: 90-100 lbs / Extended: 105-115 lbs. It might be under that weight limit. I don't know how much the trailer frame weighs.

    The owner's manual says that trailer towing isn't recommended. However, at several other places in the manual, it mentions towing, so I guess as long as you don't exceed the total capacity, you should be ok.

    I saw a pic somewhere of a guy towing a classic 500 with a new one so, you should be OK. Besides the capacity figures are just "recomendations".

    That is crazy! It's actually smaller than an original 500!

    Here is a company that appears to cater to the 500.
