For your 2000 Chevrolet Astro Conversion Van, I recommend taking a look at the:
-SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B.
This roof rack utilizes vacuum cups to mount to your roof, and will work on metal, glass, & fiberglass surfaces.
These crossbars have a maximum weight capacity of 150-lbs, and measures 48" long, and 1-1/4" in diameter.

For your 1997 Chevrolet Astro Van 2WD we carry the Roadmaster XL Base Plates, # 3138-1. These base plates were designed specifically for your vehicle and include all necessary installation hardware.
These base plates do not include a tow bar. I would recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, # RM-520, that you referenced on our website. I have linked a demonstration video of this tow bar for you to check out. You will also need a few other items that I have listed below to flat tow your... view full answer...
In order to install a brake controller on a 1987 Chevy Astro, there are a few parts you are going to need. First, you need to install a 4-Way trailer wiring harness, # 18252. I have included a link to a video that shows a typical installation. You will need to use the included circuit tester to test the van wiring because it will most likely not match color for color with the vehicle in the video.
After you have installed the 4-Way, you will need to install a 4 and 7 Way installation kit,... view full answer...

I recommend checking out your copy of the owner's manual to verify this.
In your research you basically already discovered the difference between the Draw-Tite # 75122 and the Curt # C13035. the Draw-Tite has a lighter weight... view full answer...
To flat tow a vehicle you need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter.
The only base plate kit that we offer for your 1995 Chevrolet Astro is the Classic Base Plate Kit # 184-15. This is compatible with any of the linked Roadmaster tow bars. This ranges from the cost-effective Tracker # RM-020 to the BlackHawk 2 All Terrain # RM-422. You also need safety cables like part # RM-643 that have a coiled... view full answer...
Your 2000 Chevrolet Astro van does not have a brake controller connection port under the dash like what is found on most pickups so installing a brake controller like the Primus IQ # TK90160 will be a hard-wire process.
You can use our brake controller install kit # ETBC7 to wire in the controller of your choice. If the van has a 4-pole harness you need only the controller and the ETBC7, but if you do not have a 4-pole you will want to install part like # HM41225. A circuit tester like... view full answer...
