| Honda Insight and Little Guy teardrop trailer. |
The Honda Insight is a standard 2001 with the addition of a custom trailer hitch made by Mike. A transmission cooler has also been added.
The teardrop trailer is a "Little Guy" that provides a full sized bed for two and a small kitchen accessed via the back hatch on the trailer as is usual for teardrop trailers. The Little Guy weighs only about 500 lbs.
They have even added a solar heated shower enclosure they can set up to take hot showers.

Without the trailer attached, the Insight gets 50+ mpg and with the teardrop trailer attached and going the full speed limit plus it gets 35 mpg -- pretty amazing for a full function RV.

While Honda does not advise towing with the Insight, Mike says it works well and has not seen any adverse effects.
