Most?  I don't think so...  For towing companies, it's a common practice to
tie off the steering wheel when towing via the rear wheels.  And I'm sure
the insurance companies would've come down on them if it was considered
unsafe.

Cheers,

Jeff

Most think it unsafe to rely on the steering lock or a lashing to keep the
van going strait down the road.

What is wrong with towing it with the rear wheels on the dolly and the
steering wheel tied off? I can remember the tow truck driver using the
seat belt on my old bus.
