Tongue weight is too much
Weighed the awesome PUP the other day and boy was I in for a suprise. The PUP was loaded for camping and the gross weight was only 2720 lbs which is well in the rating for the Awesome Minivan... ...

Another good example of HOW2 first ID where you are in reference to your TV's
RATINGs and HOW2 dial it in
Personally, I'd not want to have to always be 'that' close to the ratings of
anything, even my exercise ball's PSI/dia rating...
First, check if your PUP is allowed by the OEM for a WD setup, then get one with
plenty of margin in it's ratings (bar ratings).
As long as you are within the OEM ratings of both the TV and PUP, this is one
setup that will benefit from rear axle help via springs or bags, etc
Not much room in mini vans for helper springs. Brother installed shocks with
coil overs on his Odyssey without any mod's...though it took him over 4 hours
Again, very tight back there on mini vans
I appreciate & like the architecture of the Andersen, but dislike their engineering.
Mainly the coupler latch issue and how they dig into the tongue with those
pointed set screws....but your application is a good one for an Andersen as
it will NOT require lots of spring travel (another short coming...not enough
spring travel)
Do consider, it there is an option, installing shocks on the PUP. They bounce
around too much for my tastes
