I think what Vic is looking for is a tow HITCH...
I've seen several types... the big one that bolts under the bumper (ala 
Clark's), the old "one size fits all" that attaches to the rear bumper like a 
clamp, the big "step bumper" that wraps around to the rear wheel openings, and of 
course the homemade types that are made from different reese hitches... I even 
have an old homemade one made out of angle iron, welded to form a teepee with 
a ball at the apex, and it bolts to the frame channel under the engine... you 
have to remove it to get the engine out, but other than that, seen like it 
would work for towing a camper or small trailer...
I like the small clamp-on type for the front of the van so you can actually 
see where you're putting the trailer or camper... looks a little silly, 
though... but I've never been much of one to care what others think is silly or not.
;-)
Figure out what you plan to haul, weight wise, and then choose the 
appropriate hitch... the reese hitch or anything that bolts to the frame will ALWAYS be 
much safer that what attaches to the bumper.
If you chose to attach to the bumper, make sure ALL your bumper bolts and 
mounting bolts to the frame are NOT RUSTED IN HALF.... been there, done that.... 
but thats par for the course here in KY, where salt is king... luckily, 
there's been NO salt on the roads this winter here in my neck of the woods... very 
mild, and was in the low 60s yesterday...
Well, I'm sure thats more info than what you wanted Vic... take care, and my 
best to Momma.
Later,
Lonzo
