Percy,

You don't mention the year of the Vanagon but if it has a front chrome
bumper you can check out what I do.  It might give you some ideas.

Subject: Re: towing my van

Here is another question- I'm buying a vanagon 250
miles away from me, and need to fabricate a tow bar-
can someone point to me a site or give me directions
as to how to make one? I've got the actual tow bar
part, I need to hook up to the Van... and since I
don't have a model here to work with, can someone give
me directions as toi the best way to tow using a tow
bar?

   thanks!

   Percy.
