Greetings Volks. As many of you know, Uhaul, GoWesty and many other fine dealerships make a towing hitch for our beloved Vanagons. Most of these hitches attached to the two tie down loops just below the bumpers. I have heard rumors that the tie down loops eventually crack, and or break the welds under normal towing use. Is this Fact or Fiction? I'm sure many of us would like to know. Please CC: your responses to mailto:steve@hvf.com Thank you so much for your time. - Steven Shane Columbus, Ohio 1987 Westy |
