36' gasser towing a 4600 pound mini van

Just don't forget to include the weight of the towing hardware and whatever you put in the van. Our '03 Sedona had a catalog empty weight of 4800 lb and couldn't be modified for 4-down without getting very close to the hitch limit of 5000. A dolly would also have taken the combination over the 5000 lb limit.

We planned our trips so we didn't need a toad, staying mainly one night per stop and doing our sightseeing en route, even if we only drove 75 miles some days.
