I often travel with friends that tow a 16' Scamp with a Toyota Sienna mini van. No need to sleep in the van - a bed, bathroom with shower & a pair of bunk beds in front and a bed/dining table in the back in the Scamp. They leave the rear area set up as a permanent bed & eat at lap tables or outside. Well under the 3500 lb limit on the Sienna.
Scamp lists a "dry" weight of 1750-2000 lbs. for the 16' model.
I would bet that the "wet" weight isn't far from 3000 lbs.
Add the weight of passengers and other personal items in the minivan, and they're probably pretty close to the 3500 lb. limit.
OTOH, Scamps are pretty aerodynamic, so at least they're minimizing frontal surface area and wind loading.
