so great but we have one, the problem was it was here at home not with us.
Steve has an idea to shorten ours about 4? so it will fit bolted under the bus
somehow-
Maybe Andrew could design one that looks like a roof rack but is actually a
tow bar.

As to bus tow bars: I broke down and bought one that Charles Ingram is
making. They are the nicest ones I have seen. He designed these things and
started selling them for $200 then went to $220. I don't know what he is
trying to get for them now. Basically he was trying to sell them at swap meets
and took one ad out on the Samba. Supposedly Kelly in Arlington was stocking
some of them. But Charles only lives probably about 5 miles from you Sharon
and his phone # is 817-353-0202. I'm not real sure I like to recommend anyone
deal with him but he does have a really nice tow bar and tries very hard to be
helpful.
Disadvantage to his (or any) bus tow bar is that they are very large, heavy
and cumbersome. Not sure you want to drive around on long trips carrying one
in your bus. They take up a LOT of space.
If you need to borrow mine to get your bus home you are welcome to use it.

We really do appreciate everything Dennis, Chuck and Denis did to get
us home. We got in about 9:30 last night, rode with Dennis H.,
will go to Chucks tonight and tow the camper home.
We were running along just great when we lost just a little power, tried to
find a place to pull off but by the time we did- the engine was blown- a hole
thru the top of the case under the intake.
I still don?t think towing/trailering is the answer for us though carrying
a tow bar with us is a necessity from here on out, we could not find one
anywhere, even aircooled VW part dealers do not sell them. Don?t leave home
without it. This was our options ? tow it to New Orleans and come back for it,
tow it and rent a truck to tow it home - we would have done that if we would
have had a tow bar.
Larry Parrots son ? Micheal-was also trying to help us, he lives in New
Orleans and sells new Dodge cars- we were 36 miles from him, he found us a
rental truck but we could not locate a tow bar anywhere even tried AIRS.
It was so nice of Chuck and Denis to go out of their way to rescue us-
we?re going to owe them big time for a long time..
That being said I?m buying premium AAA today- its only $103, covers 200
miles of towing and one day car rental. Hagerty only gives us 50 miles towing-
that is not enough.
