In the past, several member on here have asked what they could tow for camping with their 914.
Well how about this little Pucker!? They were designed with VW's help back in 1957, to be easily towable by VW Beatles (25 hp back then), Isettas, Minis, etc., etc. So they're definitely Porsche Towable! ![]() ![]() & VW of course! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ... pay attention to this last one, see it below. or with a .... ![]() ![]() ![]() Okay, you get the idea! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I'd always just tent camped out of my `73 914-2.0 when she was my DD 1775-85, & I don't know that I'd want to put a hitch on mine when restored - but I could & do just fine with this Puck. Well .... we picked up another toy yesterday! I know, I know .... it's "Repetitively Redundant" towed with a Westy full camper, but think of it as a guest house for the grandkids! Also, since it's a 1970, it's eligible for the vintage trailer events which we go to (the Westy is too young!), we can go with this, & since it's small car towable, we can tow it with the Westy, & with the 85 325e & 914-2.0 - if I put hitches on them. 1970 Eriba Puck (German made Export mode &l finished fitting-out in CA with the CA-HCD RV/Trailer Approval Plate), 12' L (10' L box) x 5.5' W, 660 lbs empty, 70 lbs hitch wt. - sleeps 2-3 at dinette made into bed, 2 burner LP stove, Icebox (some had the optional 3-way fridge), sink & +/-10 gal. fresh water tank, center pop-top lifts for standing room & donw to fit in a normal ht. garage. Our new Baby - mostly original: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So we'll take the Lil' Pucker for her own inaugural trip with us ]to Puck around the weekend before Thanksgiving for a group camp out with other vintage trailer buddies. Wife is happy now! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |

Ooooops! Sorry about that! I thoought that I could just ccopy that post from the Awesome Vanagon thread, & it would keep track of the attached pix, but I had to re-upload them all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)
I think that something like this hitch which our Puck's PO made for his `68 Bug, might work with some adaptation on a 914 - ![]() . I haven't found a pic of a 914 towing a Puck nor other Eriba yet, but FYI here are some other Porsche & interesting tow vehicles with Pucks - IIRC - This Combo sold for about $189K at Barrett a few years back - ![]() ![]() . Mit Porsche 911 Cabrio - ![]() ![]() . Mit BMW/Isetta 600 3-Door - ![]() ![]() . Mit VWs - Thing (131), Squareback, Fastback & Baywindow Doka - ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() . Mit 2L T4 Powered Trike & Bike w/ Sidecar - ![]() ![]() . Mit MBZs & Smart Half-a-Car - ![]() ![]() ![]() . Sans Citroen DM Sedan & Wagon/Touring - ![]() ![]() . Mit Opel Kadett & Rekord, & With UK Ford Escort & Dark Green?? - ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() . With UK Mini, & Mit New Mini & BMW 3-Cabrio - ![]() ![]() ![]() . With Off-Road 4-Wheeler - ![]() .
