Happen to have a brochure with specifications for the 1980 Vanagon camper. Permissible trailer weights are listed as follows.....Braked approx 1200kg, 2645 lbs and Unbraked approx. 600kg, 1323 lbs. tongue load 50kg, 110 lbs. Don't think that we would want to haul this kind of a load with our 82 westy but this is what the brochure indicates. wrote: > > Anybody know the towing capacity of an 82 westy? > > Not sure what the offical capacity is, but I've towed my 2000 lbs race > car with my diesel 1.6TD van many times without any problems. > > Jay |
