Towing a Trailer
Hubb
you will not have any trouble with the van towing the smaller trailer we have had no issues with the structure of how the mini van is built. I will second the need for brakes I have them on the 6 x 14 but the 5 x 8 does not as we got the smaller trailer second hand. I alos forgot to mention I would go with either a V nose trailer or one with the Aero Cap front on the trailer. The cap is what we have on the 6 x 14 and I think it makes a big difference, but I wish it was a V nose trailer. I would also recommend the torsion suspension over the leaf spring type. IMHO it rides better than the leafsprings.
