Hi Joseph: Don't need one till April. Van is in a barn with a snow bank
lock on it till then.

Was thinking that the list might think I was looking for a trailer hitch,
which I am as well come to think of it. But I meant a bar that would attach
to the front of the van to allow it to be towed.

I'm thinking that some design that would use tow rings (can't remember if
there are two and can't look) or the heavy frame member behind the bumper.
The bumper itself seems to flimsy.

List members must have found/created/used tow bars many times over the years.
