- We recommend that you install chains on your drive wheels. So if you have a front wheel drive - put a pair on the front. If you have rear wheel drive - put a pair on the back. If you have all wheel drive or 4 wheen drive - put a set on all four tires. Just check your owners manual for factory recommendations or limitations.
view full answer... - Recommended Wiring Harness and Equipment for Flat Towing 1983 VW Vanagon
- If your Vanagon has a manual transmission, you'll be able to flat tow it.
In addition to the # 1208-1 base plates and a tow bar like the # RM-501 StowMaster, I'd recommend a diode system like the Roadmaster # RM-154. The diodes are tapped into the taillight circuits and prevent the taillight signals from the tow vehicle from back feeding into the towed vehicle's wiring system.
You'll also need a set of safety cables like # RM-643 and a supplemental braking system like the Blue Ox Patriot...

- The Let's Go Aero ArcHaus Tailgate Tent that would work the best on the side door of your 1982 Volkswagen Vanagon is going to be the part # SAR024-031. This normally is used for the rear door of an SUV but would work really well on the side door of your VW.
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendations for a 1989 Volkswagen Vanagon
- For your 1989 Volkswagen Vanagon you could go with a trunk mounted bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Express part # HRE3 that has been confirmed as a fit. Even though it is a 3-bike rack, you can carry 1, 2 or 3 bikes. This is a great option for ease of installation and price point but doesn't include security. If you want to deter theft, I recommend adding # TH533 to secure the rack to the vehicle and then a cable lock like # e98891 to secure your bikes to the rack.

- The color of the light that the Low Profile LED Flood Light part # OPT64FR puts out is a bluish white which is very common for LEDs.
For a warmer light that would work great the Omega LED RV Porch Light part # 328-007-30SCPE which puts out a warmer color light and also was intended for porch light use.

- The Hopkins Active Taillight Converter with Install Kit, # 46255, will work on your 1982 Volkswagen Vanagon but I highly recommend going with the Upgraded Heavy Duty Modulite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness, # C59496. This is the harness that we frequently install on the European vehicles that come into our shop due to the fact that it is a heavy duty wiring harness.
The Upgraded Heavy Duty Modulite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness, # C59496, with short circuit protection...

- While we don't offer a version of the GearSpace 34 Enclosed Cargo Carrier # HGK826 that has the lower tube you can also purchase the Flat Twin Tube part # H01373 with it so that you can lower the height of the carrier. This takes out the 6 inches of rise built into the GearSpace shank to allow it to sit a bit lower.

- I do have an option that will allow you to use the Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning part # RR33200 on your 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia but I do not have any information on Rhino-Racks intentions to produce an adapter for rain gutters or straight bolt-on applications. However, if you were to install the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar part # TH711520 and the Thule Rapid Gutter Feet for AeroBlade Crossbars part # TH65BJ which is a fit for your Vanagon Westfalia that will then allow you to mount...

- The Yakima LongHaul # Y02476 was designed for use on the backs of RVs and trailers so it is a great option for your application. Looking at the answers on the page there is only one on a travel trailer (until now!) and it does say outright that the LongHaul is rated for this application.
We'd be happy to add a video if you want to bring your trailer to us to shoot it! As far as videos go we are at the mercy of what our customers bring to us and what they want to have installed. As soon...
view full answer... - Cargo Carrier Lighting Kit Recommendation for a 1989 Volkswagen Vanagon
- The easiest way to get a taillight wiring kit on your cargo carrier to allow your taillights to be more visible would be to get one of the kits we offer that are designed specifically for this. For that I would recommend the part # 98174LED. This comes with the LED assemblies you are interested in. With this kit would also want the # BK70BB that you referenced for mounting brackets.
You will also need a 4-way on your vehicle to operate these lights if you don't have one already. For that...

- The least expensive tow bar we have that will work with the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # 1208-1 on your 1981 Volkswagen Vanagon is the Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar part # RM-020. The Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar has a 5,000 lb weight capacity, uses a standard 2" hitch ball, and comes with a durable powder coated finish just like the above Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit. The Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar is also made right here in the USA. I took a look at the curb...

- We do not carry a custom fit hitch for your 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon, but we have one that is adjustable the will work! This Curt hitch # C13701 can adjust from 18 to 51 inches which will work with your frame. You will have to drill some holes to make it work. You could also weld it to the frame but that is up to you. If you plan on reselling the Vanagon then I suggest a bolt on install just to save the frame just in case you needed to remove it.
This is a class III hitch and would work...

- The Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2 is a confirmed fit for your 1989 Volkswagen Vanagon so as long as you don't overload the weight capacity of the bike rack the rear glass will be just fine. You would not be able to turn the rear wiper on though.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment...
