I expressed my concerns about hanging 200 pounds off a Vanagon hitch.

There are special weight distributing carriers available in Europe for the Vanagon that are rated to carry 150kg. These bolt to the frame and are engineered to distribute the weight forward. I'm not sure how exactly they work, but the engineer that designed it tried to explain it to me.

If anyone wants to look at this system, go to www.reimo.com

click on the Britsh flag, and then on catalog search. Using the page search in the accessory catalog, go to page 196
