To convert the 1-1/4" receiver opening on the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11020 for your 2008 Smart fortwo to a 2" receiver you can use the Trailer Hitch Adapter # e93YR.
With that being said, any adapter will reduce the weight rating of your hitch by 50% so if you were to use this it would reduce the tongue weight of the hitch to 100 lbs. Not only that, but since your Smart car has a really short wheelbase the further back you place weight the more impact it will have to the performance... view full answer...
No, Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1987 is just the base plate. You would need to purchase a Blue Ox compatible tow bar in order to complete the physical connection between the towed vehicle and motorhome. One of my favorites is the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables bracketed to arms so you don't have to purchase them separately or worry about them dragging on the ground. There's also a bar mounted to one of the arms that... view full answer...
The only compatible baseplate kit for a 2015 Smart Fortwo is the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 52285-1 which would also be compatible with the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e44ZR that you referenced. I do want to note that this will not be compatible with electric drive models.
To transfer your braking and turn signals through the vehicle you'll need the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord # RM-152-98146-7.

We do offer a hitch that is designed to fit your 2014 Smart fortwo.
The hitch we offer is the Curt Round Tube Receiver, part # C11020. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening.
The ball mount I recommend is part # C45014. This ball mount has a 5 inch rise which helps with ground clearance.
For light towing I recommend a 2 inch hitch ball like part # C40018. If you need a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball I recommend part # A-80.

Based on my research, it is required that you disconnect your battery during towing. The Automatic Battery Disconnect For Towed Vehicles, Item # RM-766, is what you need. Consult your owner's manual to confirm what you need to do for your Smart car. If you need anything else to flat tow your Smart car then let me know.

I spoke with Roadmaster and confirmed the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System part # RM-8700 is not a fit for a Smart fortwo due to limited mounting locations. Instead, I recommend the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System part # SM99251 for hydraulic brakes or the Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System part # SM99243 for air brakes. They will also require the Brake Pedal Adapter part # SM99602. The main unit for either of these systems mounts in... view full answer...
You are correct in that you only need to install the tire cables on the outer two rearmost tires on your motorhome. For this, the best choice is the Glacier Cable Snow Cable chains # PW2028C chains with hardened steel rollers. We additionally recommend # PW103 rubber adjuster that will help keep the chains centered and taunt.

You are correct that the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap part # 18050 will be required for all non-towing applications in order to honor the warranty of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11020 on your 2014 Smart Fortwo. As far as installation goes, this will really depend on the bike rack and vehicle it is used on. There is not a specific point on the rack or vehicle that the strap will need to be attached to but I recommend wrapping the strap around the center section of the platform... view full answer...
The pictures on Curt trailer hitch # C11020 that you see are on a 2013 Smart fortwo so there are some differences in appearance between it and a 2015 model.

I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.

There is a hitch that fits your 2014 Electric fortwo, the Curt # C11020 which is a 1-1/4 inch hitch that is bolted on so you can avoid drilling. I've added a link to a video review of this hitch being installed on a fortwo for you to take a look at.
