Hi Greg,

Nah, I've never owned or considered getting a tandem, so the issue of
hauling one has never come up. It's just possible that I may have asked
about towing a small car with a Vanagon, or maybe towing the Vanagon
behind a larger vehicle, towing a motor scooter behind the van, so
trailers may have been discussed at that time. It's possible. But tandem
bikes are an altogether different matter -- I know I haven't beaten this
horse to death.

The Draftmaster that Stephen pointed out looks like a fine rack. But at
$800, it's four times the cost of this used tandem bike I just got. Gary
Lee's stuff isn't cheap, either. Can't help but wonder if this was a
plain silly purchase.
