Go for it!  I towed my 66 Bus home from Decatur, Illinois to Cincinnati Ohio (about 330 miles) behind my 1992 Subaru Loyal in a 30 MPH wind.  For those you not familiar with this car, it is a 1.8 liter engine.  My 1.9 Vanagon definitely has more power than the Sooby.  After this experience, I wouldn't hesitate to tow a splittie with my Vanagon, I actually plan to do just this when I find my next split window project!
Good Luck & PEACE!  John Baker

Yes, it sounds insane!  Absolutely!  And all I have is a tow-hook-mounted
tow bar on my '85 Westy!

The tow bar is rated at 1200 lbs.  The split-window bus would be towed on
its own wheels using a tow bar that hooks onto the front beam.  The trip is
about 200 miles of fairly flat road.

Am I crazy for even thinking I can make it?
