I'm not doing it yet, but by the time I replace my C with a towable camper the van that pulls it will be a camping van/travel van with sleeping and comfort features; that conversion has been started, and the van is my main means of travel. For most travel, I will notbe towing. Towing is for spotting something on a site in public campgrounds so I have a place to comeback after each day's activities.
Full B motorhome conversions? I've seen them towing utility trailers, boats, pop-up tent trailers, a-frame folders, and small lightweight TTs. The 3/4 ton vans used to build traditional Bs should have 3500-4500 pounds of capacity for towing, even if the RV conversion pushes the van to maximum weight. GCWRs for these vans are often in 12,000 to 15,000 pound range.
Newer lighter unibody vans like Promaster and Sprinter may be a bit more limited once built up as motorhomes, but the Sprinter still has a respectable towing capacity.
