I have a Golf with  a trailer hitch and a Transporter/Westfalia which I'm
planning to put a hitch on. I'd like to be able to tow either one with the
other for short distances. Both vehicles have standard transmission.

Is there such a thing as a bar that would connect the two hitches together
(bar with a ball receiver at both ends) so I could tow one vehicle backward
by locking the steering of the towed vehicle.
My thinking is that this would save a lot of messing around with finding a
tow bar that would be adaptable to both vehicles, and the time to
attach/detach from the towed vehicle.

Anyone got any experience with this kind of thing? Is this a viable idea?
Are there any driving/towing problems I'm not considering?
