Starting RVing with a PUP behind a minivan - thoughts?

We started out with a Jayco 1007 towed by a Dodge Caravan. I'm sure they've improved the mini vans towing in the 20 years since, but it was not a great vehicle even towing the light pop-up. Switched to a Grand Cherokee a year later and made a huge difference in our travel. We loved the pop-up and may well still have it if not for a perfectly dropped branch during a storm.

If weight is an issue, there are lighter weight brands of campers but generally a bit more expensive. Good luck!
