I have a tintop Syncro and a util trailer, its great. I haul bikes and have a truck box mounted on it for tents, chairs, tables etc...On trips it helps to keep the middle part of the van open for passengers and dogs :-)
Cost me 200 bucks from WalMart years ago. You might have to have a longer tongue put on it though, stock one just isnt long enough in my opinion.

 Subject: Utility trailer benefits...yay or any?

hi all,

I am considering to get a small utility trailer (no more than 8x4) for my
vanagon tintop 2.1 WBX..

recently I move some firewood using a dolly... that make me think it's so
easy with the dolly instead of carrying the firewood on my arm or my
back...
so an utility trailer will benefit the modest power of the 2.1 BX engine or
not? (instead of putting all the camping gear in the van)...

thanks in advance for any though...
