Default Towing a trailer with a Dodge Caravan

I just got an 06 with the 3.8L engine but no towing package. I'm looking into getting a 5 X 8 or 5 X10 trailer which weighs about 900 to 1000lbs. I figure it will weigh about 1400 to 1500 when it's loaded with planes and equpment. The van manual says its towing capacity is 2000 lbs. Just wondering if anyone is towing with a Caravan with this setup and how it handles the trailer. I will only be towing once a week and usually no more than 40 miles each way. Pretty flat terrain as well. Thanks.
