At the request of several people, I have posted a picture of how my Vanagon
trailer hitch looks once installed. It is shown on a later model Vanagon
with plastic bumpers (image courtesy of a customer) but looks/works the same
on one with metal bumpers. As you can see, all is hidden behind the bumper
except for the tow ball and the vertical plate that it mounts to. (The metal
visible under the bumper is the rear apron of the van, not the hitch.)

Again, it's $170.95 with listmember discount, genuine VW, part S121.

Thanks,
