Vanagons on tow dollies tend to swing and sway a lot, not enough front
end weight.
That is what I found.
I towed a Westy with the more weight and it towed OK for 200 miles.
I towed a Vanagon on a dolly for about 50 miles at 40 mph, it did just
fine. Over 40/45 the Vanagon got pretty wild.
I watched a Westy on a dolly behind a motor home and the guy was towing
the Westy on a rear flat tire, it was swinging real bad and crossing lane
markers.
I tried to catch up with him to warn him but he was just going to fast on
a windy day for me to tell him.
I watched for the next ten miles to see if I could spot him along the
highway or in a frontage service station ........ never saw the guy
again.
