I have a trailer just like yours but it is only 6x10 with a single axel, perfect for a golf cart. It might hold a Smart, but it is definitely too small for a Spark. After you drive it on, do you have to climb out the window?

How is it possible for the gas mileage to not change? You've got nearly 2 tons of stuff back there. The laws of physics say you can't drag it free. How are you calculating your gas mileage?
When the Smart is on the trailer, the door opens just above the railing. Worked out perfect. Fuel mileage goes from 8.25 mpg to 7.5 mpg when towing. The unit is not streamlined. Oh and the trailer without the rack weighs 1300 lbs. You’ll get a tad bit better fuel economy pulling a trailer than flat towing a car or truck.
