Chuck,

I just went to the U-Haul website (rates & reservations section) and
selected a car hauler to be towed by the wife's Ford Expedition and used a
1990 Vanagon Camper as the towed vehicle.  The U-Haul site stated that this
"IS" a recommended towing setup.

I've had this problem with U-Haul before.  Needless to say, sometimes the
guys working the counters are not the brightest.  Perhaps you could make
your reservation on-line to streamline the process?

Good Luck,

Jeff

They advised me their car carrier would not handle the
weight...also...refused to rent me one based on make and model....
