<< 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.

actually, this very van that he is towing (its a 4spd, 2WD), i had towed on a
tow tolly, (2 wheels on dolly, 2 rolling) with my D*dge Van 318V8  from
Conneticut to Pa...and it did just fine.  as long as you have it in Neutral,
you're ok.  (cant tow a syncro like this, tho)
