Turns out the OP was already cautioned back in Aug of last year in this thread about towing any full height trailer with a minivan. :R She has nevertheless since purchased a new KZ Sportsmen Classic 180BH and IIRC intends to travel with another adult and a dog. Factory dry weight of this trailer is listed at 2623 lbs but the OP hasn't provided the actual stickered weight of this particular trailer to which the weight of a battery and propane would have to be added. Accounting for the weight of passengers and any cargo in the van, including that of weight distribution / sway control, and there won't be much left out of that 3500 lb limit to account for the weight of everything additional loaded into the trailer. :E

The OP seems to not appreciate this isn't just about weight but also the significant effect wind resistance at highway speeds will have on any full height trailer, and in her case will certainly tax her 10+ yr old minivan to it's limits. Despite her belief that her "Kia pulled the trailer like a champ" test towing an empty trailer unfortunately will not have revealed just how stressful towing this travel trailer fully loaded & ready to camp will be on her van. I guess all we can do at this point is wish her luck. :)
