Most manufacturers place a sticker on the RV showing the weight. The sticker may be on the outside and/or on the inside of one of the cabinet doors. Your best bet is to take it to a local public scale and have it weighed.
A 2500 van should be rated as a 3/4 ton not 1/2 ton (1500). You shouldn't have any problem towing this TT. Many RVers were using Dodge vans to tow these types of trailers back in the 70 and 80's. Make sure the propane lines have been capped off properly unless you plan to replace the stove and heater.
A friend blew up their trailer due to the repair guy not capping off a propane line when he removed the stove to repair it.
