60s VW Beetle towed vehicles
I am interested in any and all information concerning using a 1960s era (1965) VW Beetle as a towed vehicle. Pluses and minuses. Dos and don'ts. Thanks.

We towed our 71 Super Beetle 2 years around the country using a low- cost JC Whitney tow bar and had zero towing problems. I did require several sand bags (150 lbs) in the front compartment to keep the front wheels tracking properly. I also used a bungy cord to make sure the transmission didn't jump into gear after a bump.
The bug was a real attention getter in campgrounds as many would stop and reminisce about their first-love car. Received several offers to sell it.
Still have the car but shifted to a jeep toad because I didn't feel safe on side trips on western freeways with high speed traffic. Also loading my generation folks in the backseat is a nightmare.
