Charles,


Towing a Vanagon on two wheels that far is unadvisable, particularly
if you have an automatic transmission (the bearings will wear out). I
would call U-Haul, Ryder, or whoever has a good deal on a trailer that
you can use. The expense is not that bad, in proportion to the cost of
the van. I had the willies towing mine 11 miles once- the limit is 20.
~:(


Safe travels,
Sam
