ok, do it.    just make sure you pull off the road far enough when your
vanagon engine/tranny goes into meltdown..    youll be needing that heavy duty
chassis when the rollback comes and has to do a piggyback tow with one van on the
flatbed, and the other chained to the frame on a sling or wheel lift rolling
behind it...  ;<)

personally,  AAA plus makes more sense.  free towing for 100 miles..  seems
alot easier to me.
