Hey all, I have noticed that there seems to be a real problem getting a decent hitch for the rear of a Vanagon. I may have a solution. I am working on making a hitch for my vanagon that will be 90% hidden behind the bumper and will use either a 2in or 1.25in receiver. The way it will work is that the hitch will be welded between the two stock bumper brackets. The stock bumper will have to have a hole cut into it to allow the reciever to poke out. Without the stinger in, all you will see is a 1 1/2in or 2in hole. Or if you prefer, I could make one that would allow a receiver to be bolted on to the bottom. I hope to have the prototype finished before the spring meet so I can show everyone what it looks like. If there is interest, I could make one for your van, to your specs. I will post pictures to my web page as soon as I get it done. I fgure they would be priced between $100 and $200, depending on size of receiver and style. Also, who do I need to E-mail about the food for the pot luck? I know what I am bringing. ===== Scott Solomon AKA "VW addict" 85 Westy Multi-Van 83 Vanagon D parts heap 76 Triple White 'Vert 72 Super Beetle(FOR SALE) http://www.geocities.com/solomon_scott/ See my FOR SALE area __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
