"Technically you can tow almost anything that can have the drive disconnected and a lubricating pump attached"
If you disconnect the driveshaft, why would you need a lube pump?
Please keep in mind that a manual transmission does not mean it can be towed four down! It is all about lubrication. Many manual trannys can not lube the rear bearings or the mainshaft center bearings if the engine is not running. It may take a while, but damage WILL eventually occur, and the repair will be expensive.
Yes, a lube pump may be available for a full size 12 passenger van. REMCO will be able to tell you.
The big question is, will your tow bar and tow vehicle handle the weight of a full size van? I am right at the limit (if not a little over) when towing my little Ram 1500 pickup.
