Subject:Towing a trailer
From:Jim Felder
Date:Wed, 14 Jul 2004 18:02:14 -0500

My parents have a 20 foot travel trailer that I can pull to the Gulf of
Mexico using my dad's truck. We plan to keep it down there most or all
of the year, mostly in off-site storage. When for several weeks or so,
once or twice a year, I'd like to take it out of storage and set it up.

What would be the feasibility of using the vanagon for such a task?
Assuming it would be on the same property as the RV park, would it hurt
to tow it (estimated 2500 lbs, but I'll check) a fraction of a mile on
flat ground?

Can the cheapo hitch that bolts onto the hold-down eyes be used for
this?

Thanks if anyone knows or has an opinion.

Jim
