You want a set up from Roadmaster. They make brackets
http://www.roadmasterinc.com/pdfinst/1208-1.pdf specifically for the
Vanagon and their tow bars are fantastic. I have the
http://www.roadmasterinc.com/falcon2.html which remains on the motor
home. My set up has worked for 2 trips from NY to Florida and from NY to
Maine a long with many other adventures. Note, that in order to be legal
now in most states, you need something to activate the towed vehicle
brakes for both normal stopping and in case of a "break away". If you
are willing to spend more, you can get the
http://www.roadmasterinc.com/sterling.html. This bar includes a shock
absorber system.

This is the one you want.

I'd occasionally like to tow a Vanagon behind my converted bus. Can
anyone recommend a good towbar? I'd prefer one that either folds or is
easily removable.
