Towing

I recently acquired an old Terry 28' fifth wheel camper.. I currently don't own a pick-up but have a heavy duty work van. Is it possible for the hitch on the van to be modified for the van to haul the fifth wheel. Any information or advice on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

    Now he is double towing, I am not sure that setup would be legal in many jurisdictions. To the op, your pin would be so far aft of the rear axle the front wheels would lift making steering impossible. You need a pickup.

    I make no claims as to the safety or wisdom of using such a setup.
