You can tow it with a car
Not all Australian Touring Caravans weigh 8000lb, there are lightweight single axle models, like this 4,200lb , 22ft version that can be easily towed by a car.

Thing is. Many on the forum are either too young, or too new at towing to remember how it was done BEFORE trucks were both popular, and as comfortable as today. My FIL towed 26' TTs with a 67 Chevelle. We didn't think we had to have a truck to tow a trailer. We just did it with what we had. We thought nothing of piling the family in the car hooking up and going anywhere we wanted. The big V8 under the hood would get us there. Also remember those cars were RWD.
Remember back in the day. Pickup trucks were just that, Trucks. They were reg cab, 3 passenger at the most, No AC, no radio, NONE of the accessories you see in them today. The best option they had was a sliding back window. you couldn't take your family along, unless you put a cover on the back, and had the kids ride back there. I doubt many of the folks on this forum would drive one as todays trucks are more like cars, and we are pretty spoiled to the options they have. How many of you would like to go cross country with no AC, and no radio. And have the family follow in a car? Not me.
So folks used their cars, station wagons and such to tow their boats, and RVs. AND the brake controllers were manually operated. His had a big lever sticking out the front so that he could activate the TT brakes with his knee.
So yeah, A max load, 4500lb TT can be easily towed with a RWD, V8. sedan.
