<VV> Tow Bar/Car Dolly

[Ken Clark]

I have flat towed mine long distances with my Astrovan with no problems.  Just allow more stopping distance.  Can run 55-60 MPH with no problems.  I have a tail/stoplight wiring system with extra sockets on the end so can remove car bulbs and plug in to the towed vehicle and to your truck outlet.  Hope this helps.  Ken

I have a 1998 Chevy S-10 that I would be hauling it with. Has anyone had any experience in towing a corvair with a tow bar? How well does it stop? What maximum speed can you drive recommended? I'm trying to get a jump start on getting something purchased to get to the convention.
