Dear Mark,


In Bentley's "Vanagon Official Factory Repair Manual," page 7 (quote):


        Flat Towing
        :
        :
        Manual Transmission (including Synchro)
        There are no restrictions on speed or distance
        when towing manual transmission cars behind
        other vehicle.


So, save the dolly rental cost and just tow it (all 4 wheels on the
ground).  The automatic transmission versions require removal of the
driveshafts if towing faster than 30 mph and/or greater than 30 miles.


Sincerely,


John Y. Hung
Auburn, AL
84 GL
