Thanks for the info.  I actually found his name through some google
searches about an hour ago and sent him an email.  2000 lbs isn't a
problem for a van with decent power.  I've been doing it for years.
In fact I used to tow the race car with my 1.6 TD setup!

They fit well, install easily(though you may need to modify your rear bumper a bit), and attach to the frame not just the tow hooks.  I looked at a variety of choices did not find another that was as strong and easy to install as the hitch he offers.  You could of course have one made locally for you but if you want to order a strong hitch and easily install it in your driveway he makes an quality product.  Plus you are supporting a list member that is always willing to share his vast knowledge helping diagnose vanagon problems.
