The car makes people smile and is a lot of fun
It's surprising how many people have never seen one tho. Most of them here in Michigan have gone to rust heaven years ago.
The originals were a bit of a camper too. They were the first cars with seats that would recline flat, like a bed.
We tow our 5 x 10 Tear with a 1992 Mazda 626 with a 2.2L and a manual 5spd. I would never use a car this small with an automatic transmission. The car had plenty of power and braking was good Our gas mileage went from 37mpg to 25mpg.
Right now I will either using my 1990 Toyota Dx cab pickup with 6 cyl and 5 on the floor. to either carry it or pull it.
my mazda prodoge was totaled last year, replaced it with a 2001 Carolla with an automatic. I got an est. on hitch if trialer is not to heavy I will us this instead.
I do not think it would be wise for my Prius unless the trailer had it's own motor. or totally redo the trailer like this one below.
