My westy had a previous family that towed a motorcycle trailor through Nevada hauling two pretty big bikes.  The mechanic they consulted about the capabilities looked over the VW, replied that he could do it, but it would be a slow trip.  It was.  25mph top speed up some long, long stretches of incline...  Then it occured to the driver:  The bigger bike had a more powerful engine than the vw...

Perhaps you could find a Big Honda Shadow to tow your Vanagon with?  Seems about as logical.

Anyone who owns a vanagon ought to be a AAA member.  You can't fix everything on the side of the road...
