I towed this '52 Rod & Reel trailer from Fullerton to the Classic at Irvine Meadows in 2002 with my 1962 DC. It has a 1500 stock everything engine with a big nut('67) trans with reduction boxes. The trailer is about 15' in length but I do not know how much it weighs. The trailer has brakes on it, but I did not hook up a brake controller, so all braking was done by the DC Shocked . The trailer hitch is an original Westfalia hitch. You can see it in the second photo. A white knuckle ride for sure. Surface streets all the way. Not sure what I was thinking. LOL Very Happy

This is by far the heaviest thing I've tried to move with a VW.

I did not know they made a 200. I thought there were only 350's and 400's. Interesting.

Any close up pics of those gate latches and hinges that move so the gate can swing open like that? This makes me want to build a platform like that. Haha. So cool!!

Not my heaviest load but definitely the most fun.


Some day I want to build one of those. Might you have any detailed photos of yours? Is it an original or a reproduction?

Checking out the thread again- i could have sworn I saw a pic of someone carrying a full sized bridgeport in their SC but a lot of the photos are down :/

That would be way over the 1 ton weight limit for a single cab, almost twice.


Am I being obtuse when I ask, "What the heck is a bridgeport?"


Good question. It's a big milling machine for metal. Great for making parts.
