Trailer Hitches

I'm moving soon, and have to move my 1956 Austin-Healey. Since 
I seem to do this every year, I went to U-Haul (a US trailer 
rental company) to inquire about having a hitch installed so 
I could tow the Healey with my '89 200 TQ. The lady behind the 
counter looked in her book and found it listed. All Right! 

The towing capacity for their Class 3 hitch on my Audi is 
3500 lbs. The trailer plus my Healey (a small two seater 
with no windows) exceeds that by 150 pounds (3650). So she
said I can't do it. 

I'll have to try another store and tell them I'm towing a 
Bugeye.

Has anyone had a Da'Lan hitch installed? Do you know what 
their weight and towing limits are for a Class 3 hitch?

Thanks,
Kent McLean
