Thank you. I thank God only my pride was hurt. I had a friend weld a bumper to the frame of the van so I could transport all my stuff across country. He strongly recommended against towing with that van, but I “knew better” since I was 20. 
I was driving a light weight, overloaded van with a wheelbase too short to safely tow. Im surprised I actually made it over 400 miles without incident! In the hills of Pennsylvania I started down a medium grade hill that had a gentle curve in it, and as my speed increased more than I was comfortable, I made the mistake of braking. It swapped ends a few times before I rolled everything.
