4 Wheel Down Towing Advice

I am considering pulling my 2007 Chrysler Town & Country Touring van 4-Wheels Down. I currently tow using a dolly and I have a nice set of wireless magnetic lights so I am covered there. I know what I need as far as the tow bar and plate and of course a Brake Buddy or something similar.

The one thing my van requires if I choose to tow with the engine off is the oil pump. I do not wish to do the pump for may of my own reasons.

That leaves me with towing 4-wheels down with the engine running. My question is, how many of you do this with the toad engine running while towing behind the RV? Any issues with overheating of the toad or other issues I'm not thinking of with this scenario?

Again, I do not intend on buying another vehicle and will stick with the van even if it means still using the dolly but I wanted to get some input from those that pull this way.

Thanks!

I don't know what your reasons are for not wanting the easy to use transmission pump, but folks have towed 4-down with the engine running for many years, although usually for relatively short runs. I do know of a few that have transported an extra car to Florida for snowbird season that way, but that's only twice a year.

Oh, and we have a bit over 50,000 towing miles so far with our Remco transmission pump installed on two different toads. Zero problems...
