Who knows about towing?
 OK, I retire in another 82 days, and I'm planning to drive down to Key West until it warms up in Virginia. Can anyone tell me if it there is any aftermarket tow bars to hook up and tow a very small trailer. It needs to be hooked up to the frame somehow and not the bumper.I'm always looking for something that doesn't exist, sound familiar?

911 as a tow vehicle??
Have a read here. Many pro and con opinions. I had a hitch rigged to my 911 and used it for DE's. It was a modified hitch and primarily anchored to the bumper shocks and stabilized off the unibody on the passenger side. It worked well but was a very small trailer, 40" wide by 48" long. It tracked well even at speeds around 75mph. The ball piece was a blade attachment and when removed, you could not tell there was a hitch on the car. You will likely not find anything off the rack. edit: just remembered that there is a separate circuit for right and left lights so in order to use a standard 4 wire trailer set up, you need a 5 to 4 wire adapter wired in the car so brake, tail and directional lights will work.

after reading the thread that you gave me I think I'll just look for an old VW bus camper. Anybody out there got one in good shape?
