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.

A mid sized truck would have a hard time with this. So no a car can not tow these.
I tow a trailer of similar size to the one that Robert from Australia posted the photo of. My trailer is a 4000 pound funfinder, that I tow with a Nissan Frontier. Set up with a BlueOx swaypro, this trailer pulls very nicely with this midsize truck. I am within all stated limits of both the truck and the trailer, and have pulled it from sea level to over 11,000 feet numerous times.
Here in the US in the Frontier we get the gas 4.0 V6, which does very well as I said. Those lucky folks down under, in this same truck ( Navarra there ) get the 3.0 V6 turbo diesel, with 400 ft-lbs of torque. Oh man....if Nissan had that here, with my excellent six speed manual gearbox, I would be all over it.
thanks for posting the pics Robert.... I always enjoy looking at your "caravans".
