Note the aerodynamic beak, especially designed to catch the wind, and increase the degree of difficulty.
I would have to look for a pic of the ancient 27" van we used on another site.
I always thought that you loaded the trailer and tow vehicle to avoid sway, NOT use a behemoth vehicle as a blunt instrument to overcome the problems that follow poor planning!
I'm shocked you would refer to the mighty Kombi as a hippy mobile. Such a gross generalisation that is typical of all Americans ;-)
