I have hauled two different syncro Vanagons on uHaul trailers (the kind
which allow all four wheels off of the ground, since I didn't feel like
pulling the driveshaft). I have ALWAYS driven straight on rather than
backing the van on. I can't remember exactly why, but there was a very good
reason why I never backed them on, but I can't remember why. Sorry I know
that is not much help, but I thought I'd at least chime in and let you know
what I've donein the past.
