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.

I learn how to pass in a 36 HP beetle... you lay back and when you think there's a hole coming up, you get a running start and turn off the AC IF it had one. I still use this technique and in the MH and I do not turn the AC off and it's a lot easier to see what's coming up. You run the bungee to the seat because the VW is so lite on the front.
A tow bar is only $100 and pins to the front axle lower torsion bar. I would be afraid of trying to put a "normal" tow bar that folds up as there is very little structure in the front of a beetle.
CG Dawson, I believe I answered his question and why: " You run the bungee to the seat because the VW is so lite on the front." Granted I did not feel it necessary to say "from the bottom of the steering wheel and you adjust it by where you position the seat".
