Just to clear things up it was driven from london Ontario to banff Alberta. it is the same size as my trailer 31' with a gvwr of 7500 lbs. The people seem very nice. I mentioned that his TV is overloaded and he didn't seen concerned. I'm surprised that the hitch hasn't ripped off. I was careful when loading mine to keep the tw to 1000 lbs.
He is likely way under the tire load rating of the van's tires.
I can almost assure you that this van was set up by Can Am RV. They match these trailers to the tow vehicles. They really focus on set up of the Receiver hitch and the WD hitch. Also they match the trailer to the vehicle.
Notice the overall trailer hight? Aerodynamically this 31 ft surveyor at 9.5 ish ft high is much easier to tow than a 19 ft long 11 ft high standard travel trailer.
The Van has a 285 hp Pentastar V6 in it. Power is not a problem .... at all... These vans also have heavy duty cooling systems so temps are not a problem.
As far as the hitch... This isn't some uhaul bolt on deal. It looks something like these below
Nice looking set up, I would love to tow something like that with my current 14 Town and Country.
Thanks!
