How does he get the smart car off the back? Parked near a similar rig at the Tampa Super RV show. I didn’t see any obvious way to unload the car and there was no one around to ask.

Most of them have ramps and drive up. If you notice in the video, there's the stops on the side that passes the camera.
It's interesting to watch them gett the car on and off, but same concept as getting an ATV out of a pickup bed.

I know that guy, spent time at couple of rallies with him in the last few months.
His setup does have ramps that attach to the deck and just drives it up.

Impressive. I am lucky not to have to pull forward. Does he get two sites? One for the truck and smartcar and the other for the trailer?
With that truck he may not really need the trailer other than for the shower.

Just one site, but I’ve seen him use overflow parking for the truck. The Smart Car stays on the site with the camper.

I've gotten a ride in that truck. I asked every question you could imagine. About 525 HP. About 8 MPG towing. 3-pedal autoshift trans (You have to clutch it at a stop and once you get the clutch out after taking off, the computer takes over all the shifts from there. And even bob-tail (no trailer) it rides better than my excursion.
How does it pull? He said once, going thru some steep hills, he noticed that it shifted down from 10th to 9th gear.
