I'm  moving, and will be taking the vanagon with me (unless anyone wants

Uhaul says that their tow dolly will work for a vanagon.  Has anyone used
their dolly before? And if so, did it work well for  you?

Cheers,

i used to do it all the time before i bought my car trailer. if its a
manual trans you can tow it with the rear wheels on the ground and in  neutral.

if its an automatic, you MUST REMOVE THE CV AXLES if you plan to tow it
with the rear wheels on the ground. otherwise you have to tow it backwards
with  the steering wheel locked and the front wheels on the ground.

if its a Syncro, you must disconnect the driveshaft. or flatbed tow it.
