Subject:      Towing Syncro Westy on Rental Trailer
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Has anyone ever towed a syncro westy on one of those rental car carriers?
I'm looking at Budget Truck rental using a 16 foot truck
and their rental car carrier (full trailer, not a dolly).

Their guide gives the "ok" for using it to tow a vanagon, but there is no
choice in using their on-line thing for checkion a syncro
westy. The extra weight is the issue. The trailer specs state a max vehicle
weight of 4100 lbs. I think my van beats that by 500
pounds or so.

Too risky?

I'm only moving it from coast to coast!
