So I have a factory Westfalia towing plug and tow ball on my van that I imported from Austria. I want to be able to tow my dune buggy behind my van on rare occasions (flat roads, short distances). I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to adapt the westy wiring plug to the standard flat 4 plug on my buggy. Also is the westy tow ball comparable to a US spec 2" ball? I measured it with my caliper and it's 1.95", seems close enough but I don't know what the clearances should be between ball and hitch. Any help is appreciated.
