This sounds great !! Ron, do you have any pic`s or diagrams of this hitch? Thanks, jc... Yes, but they don't have anything for Vanagons that is even remotely like that Eurovan hitch.� Just the low-end class 1 hitch that mounts to the towhooks. (Which is no surprise, as this is all I've found through normal sources for Vanagons; that's why I have to import my heavy duty one from South Africa.)� Check the archives on that hitch; it's been reported on before.� It's a very light-duty hitch, useful for only the smallest of trailers, as it uses only the tow hooks for support.� If you got the same 13% savings you got on the Eurovan hitch with the group buy, it would still be $130.� For about $170 my Genuine VW hitch from South Africa is infinately more heavy duty.� It mounts deep into the frame and its capacity is limited only by the Vanagon's own maximum towing capacity. (Also it can be modified to a receiver style for about another $60-70 according to listmember reports.)� So even if you were to get a break on it, it wouldn't be worth bothering with.�� (Too bad they don't have a comparable Class 3 hitch for the Vanagon or I'd be buying them myself!) - Ron Salmon � The Bus Depot, Inc. � (215) 234-VWVW � www.busdepot.com
