    I have a 66 Catalina wagon, I also have a early 70's caravan. But no tow hitch to put the two together!
    Is there a company out there that make tow hitches for my wagon?
    My caravan weighs about 1850 lbs.
    I've looked around the web but not found any company's as of yet

    I've got a '69 Bonneville wagon, which has the same frame as your '66 Cat. I did some searching years back for a hitch for it. What I came up with was this RV hitch- it actually fits pretty good!

    I think I still have a hitch off a 66 Catalina wagon. Pretty heavy duty too

    Hey WagonKiller, be good if you could find the hitch out and get back to me.

    Have your son check with a U-Haul rental facility. Most of them do hitch installations as well, and I believe they have a manual that shows what they can get. You may have to get something welded-up custom.
