I have towed a Vanagon 500 miles using a Reese towbar rated at 5,000 lbs. Don't turn tight corners especially on dirt or slippery surfaces.

Yes, it sounds insane!  Absolutely!  And all I have is a tow-hook-mounted
tow bar on my '85 Westy!


The tow bar is rated at 1200 lbs.  The split-window bus would be towed on
its own wheels using a tow bar that hooks onto the front beam.  The trip is
about 200 miles of fairly flat road.


Am I crazy for even thinking I can make it?
