Boy, I seem to be asking a lot of questions today! I was wondering about getting a hitch installed on my 82 vanagon so that I could pull a trailer or use one of those moto-tote type motorcycle carriers (bike weighs about 350 lbs). I would like one of those square type hitches (type 2??) and was wondering if anyone had any experience mounting one of these to their vanagon. I was just going to go down to the local tow hitch place, but thought I'd run it by the list first to see what the group wisdom says. One thing I do know, extra weight doesn't seem to slow the diesel vanagon much, if any. I had a dozen 2x4s and half a dozen sheets of 3/8 plywood in mine on saturday and was just as fast (slow!) as normal. It actually seemed to handle better with the extra weight. This is such an awesome vehicle. I just wish it was 1982 again and I could enjoy it for the 20 years I've missed. Thanks. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
