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

Hi,

Dont do it! I towed one last month and 8 miles into the trip the tire
blew out! 8 hours later U-haul finally delivered a trailer. Do your self
a favor and get the auto transport. Much easier to tow with the inertia
brakes. I dont think the tow dollies are set up for the Van.

Thanks,
Aaron
