I spoke with my contact at CURT. Trailer Hitch, # 13217 is unique in that it comes in 3 pieces. Once the frame brackets are attached to the main body, the distance between the 2 brackets is 29-5/8 inches. The brackets are 9-1/4 inches tall overall. I have included a link to the installation details for this hitch. view full answer...
You will need to change out the side plates from your class II Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12217 to install the class III Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13217 on your 1993 Volkswagen Eurovan. While they do appear similar the side plates are different as they are designed with larger and stronger components. view full answer...
The Hopkins trailer wiring that is confirmed as a fit for your 1997 Eurovan is part # 46255. This is a hardwire installation. When installing this on your van I recommend using a circuit tester like part # 3808 so you can make sure you test the wires by function.
The # 37185 will work with the # 46255 4-way trailer harness. The # 37185 has additional wires that are used for brakes, auxiliary power, and accessory wiring. I have attached a photo of the # 37185 with the wires labeled you... view full answer...

Mats are specially designed not to curl, crack or harden, even in sub-zero temperatures. The WeatherTech All-Weather Front Floor Mats - Black # WTW3 are the mats... view full answer...
There is not a compatible foot to mount the Rhino Rack heavy duty bars to your 2002 VW Eurovan. Since it is a naked roof you would have to mount a channel mount Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Channel Mount - 63" Long - Qty 2 Item # RTC16 to the roof and use the Track Mount RLTP Legs for Rhino-Rack RTC- and RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks - 2" Tall - Qty 4 Item # RLTP-2 to mount your heavy duty bars. Installing the tracks do require drilling holes into the roof for the hardware. view full answer...
The Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - CB12 - Size 090 # TH01221090 are a confirmed fit for your 195/70-15 tires on your 1995 Volkswagen Eurovan. These are a great choice with the manganese nickel alloy steel and integrated rubber tensioners. They come with a storage container, kneeling mat, gloves and installation instructions.
I've attached a video to assist further, but it sounds like you aren't a rookie, so I recommend at least reading through the instructions... view full answer...
We have not heard of any issues with spare tire access on the 2001 Volkswagen Eurovan and Curt trailer hitch # 13217 installed. The worse case scenario is that you might have to angle the spare tire in/out to clear the hitch cross tube but we have not heard of that even for this hitch so you'll be good to go.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise... view full answer...
I reached out to my tech at Yakima and she confirmed that the HighRoad models # Y02114 and # Y75FR are not compatible because part of the rack extends underneath crossbars that interferes with the LockNLoad Platform # Y05047. It requires more space between crossbars to function.
With that being said, there are great bike rack options that are compatible. If you are looking for a very similar wheel-mount style, I recommend the Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier - Roof Mount # Y02103.... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch # 13217 is a confirmed fit for the 1993 Volkswagen Eurovan. This trailer hitch is a fit for all models of the 1993 Eurovan, so the manufacturer doesn't differentiate between styles or trim levels.
If you need a 4 bike hitch mount bike rack, I recommend the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR. This bike rack will fit the 2 inch hitch receiver on the # 13217 hitch, and has a weight capacity of 35 pounds per bike. The anti-sway cradles will help prevent bike to bike... view full answer...
Yes, you can add an additional flexible 110 watt panel to your system. While the 30 amp controller of the Go Power Flex kit part # 34272628 can only accommodate one power and ground cable, the solar panels themselves can connect to each other on top of the RV to then supply the power of multiple panels on that one set of power cables. view full answer...
I have included a link to the tire chains that are confirmed as a fit for your 2002 Volkswagen Eurovan. Of these tire chains that fit your Eurovan I recommend Titan Tire Chains # TC1550. These tire chains provide a diamond pattern, for additional traction, and are considered type S compatible.
Please verify with your owner's manual of your Eurovan, and make sure that tire chains can be used on your vehicle.
I have included a couple of helpful articles about tire chains for your reference. view full answer...
From the looks of your photo, you have the Side Loader Mounting Brackets for Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers # Y08002. I confirmed with my tech at Yakima that the Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers (QTY 4) # Y00101 fit these Kwik-Rail mounts. For theft-deterrence, I recommend the Yakima Same-Key Lock Cores # Y07204.
If you need Yakima RoundBars to go with the towers and the brackets, I recommend one of the following crossbar sets:
- Round 48" CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack System # Y00408

The available trailer hitches for the 1997 VW Eurovan are either Class II or Class III and Curt cargo carrier # C18145 does fit these 2 hitch sizes. So the carrier will fit the hitches available for the vehicle. To make sure there is clearance for the cargo carrier to reach past the rear bumper on the van there is one measurement needed. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole back to the distance required to clear the rear bumper. If that distance is less than 6 inches the carrier... view full answer...
There is a solution for you, although a rooftop cargo box will not work with a roof rack that has crossbars with a 50" spread, and there are no bars available for your 2003 VW Eurovan which can be modified to do so.
What I recommend is the Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket and Extension # Y07080-82 which mounts to Yakima, Thule and most factory crossbars via its universal attachment system. This cargo basket also will work with crossbar spreads up to 60", so it is a... view full answer...
The Yakima 60 inch Roof Tracks, # Y01135, are designed to allow you to connect a roof rack system on atypical vehicles or campers/trailers.
If you have the clearance for the 60 inch long tracks, then the Yakima tracks will mount to your Eurovan. You will need to use the SkyLine Towers, # Y00148, to attach any of the Yakima crossbars to the track system. Also, the Yakima Landing Pad 1, # Y00221, is needed to attach the SkyLine towers to the track rack. The Landing Towers are sold in the... view full answer...
The T4 generation of the Volkswagen Transporter was indeed the same thing as the Eurovan. In the US it was called the Eurovan and everywhere else it was the Transporter. For your 1997 Volkswagen Transporter/Eurovan I recommend Curt trailer hitch # 13217. This is a 2 inch hitch rated for 400 pounds tongue weight and 4,000 pounds gross trailer weight. But consult the vehicle owner's manual for the vehicle capacity.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.... view full answer...
I have a possible solution for you, but if your main concern is having full access to open the rear hatch, then a swing-away bike rack like your SwingDaddy is your best option. Most hanging style bike racks including the Softride Alumina Parallelogram will not allow you to fully open the rear door, but I think I have one option for you.
Your best option for a bike rack that fits 1-1/4 inch trailer hitches and that will allow you to fully open your rear hatch is the Kuat Beta Folding 2... view full answer...
