EM realizes that there is a significance market for Elio trikes to be used in RV'ing .... they are designing the Elio to be able to be flat towed behind a motor home .... in our travels the vast majority of full time RV'ers are couples .... being able to use a highly efficient vehicle to travel while their RV is parked is a long standing "must have" .... I believe that EM is positioned to expand the demand for an Elio within the RV'ing community beyond those who use motorhomes .... folks who tow 5'ers and travel trailers seldom use highly fuel efficient trucks but the math surrounding the expenses involved in having one of the couple drive a second fuel efficient vehicle just haven't worked out .... once an Elio that delivers 80 mpg is available, the numbers will undergo considerable change .... all this leads to these questions : will you use your Elio in connection with RV'ing/camping .... if so towing it behind a motorhome, will you flat tow it or tow it on a traler

with our Sportchassis averaging 10 mpg (tops), I can see us incorporating an Elio into our travels

.. I wouldn't worry about it .... when I'm towing a boat, utility trailer, 5th wheel or anything else I attempt to steer so as to avoid potholes and such .... however, I'm not willing to wreck in the process .... I'd do pretty much the same with an Elio in tow .... personally, I'd be prone to pull ours on a 2 wheel trailer .... doing so would seem to me to lessen the wear and tear on the Elio from bouncing down the road .... the Skyze system has a tire pressure monitor feature so, if flat towing, I'd probably rely on it to warn me of an issue
