Towing a cargo van
I am moving across three states, from Wa to Ca, I am driving a 77 Dodge Jamboree, and intend to tow a cargo van, since they seem to be cheaper than trailers. I have the lights, do I have to use brak...

The 77 is in pristine condition, with only 52,000 miles on it. Never seen one this clean, and I did a lot of shopping. That's why I bought it. It's been well maintained. On top of that, it's a Dodge.
As for the cargo van, If I remove the motor and transmission from the cargo van it will be much lighter. The cargo itself going in the van probably only weighs 500lbs
And I was going to disconnect the drive line, so the transmission wouldn't burn up (proof that friction heaters work, for a fraction of what conventional electric heaters cost to run. But that's another story)
Or, ...
I can buy a different cargo van with a 454 in it, and tow the motor home with that? The tow bar will be par, come on guys, I'm not gonna use a rope.
I have something I built that is 8 foot long and won't fit in a short 6cyl van.
maybe I can disassemble it, without ruining it, then I can maybe fit it through the motor home door.
OK if the motor home is built to sleep 6 adults, surely it can carry 1200 pounds inside of it, at least give me that fellas.
Nay, you gave me the user name "puppydog"? (Sigh)
