Dereck,
Another option is to let the B follow along behind you with a tow bar. It
was easy to remove the front bumper and attach the towbar to the front of my
former 77B. The car tracked beautifully and it avoided having to pull (and
brake) the mass of a trailer that weighed as much as the car. Charley Robinson
hauls his CBB behind his RV with a similar setup. You can see a image of mine
arriving at home at http://www.home.earthlink.net/~budkrueger/NewBHere.jpg. I
think I paid about $125 for the towbar.
