Sure, a Vanagon can tow a 'Loaf", but it should be done on a limited
basis such as to get one home after a breakdown. You will need a strong
hitch on the Vanagon and a proper tow bar set up for the Loaf.
Roadmaster has the proper brackets for the Loaf. You should also
consider some form of brake activation for the towed vehicle in case of
break-away and to take some of the load off the van doing the towing.
Many states now require towed vehicles to have auxiliary braking.

Subject: Towing a breadbox with a vanagon

Has anyone ever seen this done, can it be done... I'm thinking well...

I need a second vehicle... and since the loaf is better than the vanagon
in
snow and I can't afford a synchro... (nor do I want to worry about the
viscous coupling and tire rotation et et)..

Why not tow a bus (with a stick in neutral) to where I'm heading.. and
when
it snows just ride the bus..

And when the vanagon breaks down use the bus to tow the vanagon (no, I
don't
think it could do that...)
