I have a Golf with a trailer hitch and a Transporter/Westfalia which I'm planning to put a hitch on. I'd like to be able to tow either one with the other for short distances. Both vehicles have standard transmission. Is there such a thing as a bar that would connect the two hitches together (bar with a ball receiver at both ends) so I could tow one vehicle backward by locking the steering of the towed vehicle. My thinking is that this would save a lot of messing around with finding a tow bar that would be adaptable to both vehicles, and the time to attach/detach from the towed vehicle. Anyone got any experience with this kind of thing? Is this a viable idea? Are there any driving/towing problems I'm not considering?
