Hi Towees, Ron of BustDepot fame markets a very fine hitch system that bolts in place of the rather flimsy metal backing for the 1989? and up composite bumpers. It is specifically manufactured for the vanagon and can probably be found on his website. I modified mine to accept a 2" receiver. The cost was on the order of 300 USD including the modification. I seem to recall the hitch unit was around 150USD but check with busdepot. Pix of the device are available by email cheers, pensioner |
