I have a Dennis Haynes receiver hitch on my rig. Very stout. Bolts to the frame of the van, not to the tow loops. A little involved to install, but you can't get better. You must remove the rear bumper, mount the bumper to the hitch, then install the hitch with the bumper mounted to it. There are three heavy duty bolts on each side of the hitch that mount it to the frame. Best hitch I know of for a Vanagon. The hitch provides some protection from a rear-ender. Drop Dennis a note. He still makes these. He's on the list. John Rodgers Clayartist and Moldmaker 88'GL VW Bus Driver Chelsea, AL Http://www.moldhaus.com
