Smart Car Being Loaded Into XLR 375 AMP Thunderbolt

Picked up our new golf cart on Saturday (2015 Smart Car Convertible). Purchased it in SC and it only has 11K miles on it, same as new with factory warranty. Most campgrounds in Myrtle Beach will not let you bring your own golf cart because they want you to rent from them. They can't say anything about the smart car because it is an actual licensed motor vehicle. The smart car is about the same size as our golf cart and we can also use it for transportation. I loaded it into my 375 today to see what is needed to secure it from moving around. The straps in the pictures and video are for demonstration purpose only. I will be ordering some heavy duty made in USA ratchet straps and installing two more tie downs in the back on the slope floor. The YouTube video link shows the load and unload process, just as easy as loading the golf cart.

If anyone is looking for a late model Smart Car with low miles, please give Pavel a call with Eurocars LLC (803-426-3208). He is located in Fort Mill, SC and he keeps several in stock. His website is http://eurocarsllc.com and he has the best prices and a pleasure to do business with.

Thanks for sharing.

looks like there is plenty of room. How was the ramp door while loading? Any problems with flex?
