    What happens when that roof rail mount pops off at 70 mph.

    I don't even want to think about it.

  8. Do you see the way that Bug gets yanked around every time the momentum builds up? Also, I'd hat to be going up a hill with that clamped to a VW... even a SuperBeetle!

    ^^^I think some of the guys w/ the bajas and things left after seeing what that pos of a vanagon was capable! Pretty damn rad anyway!
    The camper is sick, wasnt it posted some days ago already? Looks a bit like a paper model though!
    Not to solid lookin! but then it might just be the old video! 360 moves are top!

    that is pretty dang slick. i'd like to see one in real life.
     
  16. The reason you don't see them at all these days is that the roof gutters were the ONLY thing that hitch mounted to. More than one of those failed when they were in use. Cool idea. Lousy engineering. Plus, even a Super Beetle with that couldn't MAKE 70 mph, unless it was on its was down Loveland Pass or Donner Summit, with a tailwind...what brakes???

    Here is a camper and pull rig I would definitely like to have (no VW porn here, BTW!).

    The hitch was not mounted to the roof gutters.
