Dan,


Put a towbar in your van and rent a pick up truck.


Seriously, my extensive travels last year involved AAA tows of 85 miles in W
VA (distributor rotor disintegrated), 20 miles in MA (brake caliper bolt
fell off), and 50 miles (at midnight) in UT (ignition switch).


This doesn't count the local tows for a new clutch and alternator.


Admittedly, this was for three different vans, but you get the idea.
