I would use a come-a-long hooked to your hitch somehow (maybe $30 if you
don't have one).  If you're on level ground, shouldn't be much work.  How it
pulls depends a lot on the van condition/wheel bearings condition.

Subject: Renting a tow-dolly for vanagon core-HELP!

Im renting a tow-dolly to pick up a Westy core(manual
tranny)  and towing 200 miles using a toyota tundra
v-8

Has anyone from the list ever towed a vanagon using
one of these little tow-dollys? Any tips on how to
mount a non-running Vanagon to one of these? (Im
clueless)

I think its going to be a bear trying to push the
westy on to the dolly, hopefully theres a wench to
help pull it up.
