What do you consider a long distance? I have seen the front ball bearing
fail due to lack of lubrication with the van on a dolly. It is actually
better to flat tow with a good tow bar. You can unbolt the axle shafts
from the wheel side.

If going through multiple states, you need to check laws for lighting,
brake, and registration/insurance requirements.

Can I tow a manny-tranny Vanagon long distance on a tow dolly with no
special precautions?  Just put it in neutral?
