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.

My minivan, which handles quite nicely towing, is not substantially different from a Toyota Avalon. I've no doubt the sedan could do the job too, with appropriate coolers installed. (Transmission cooler is standard in the US on the Sienna but not the Avalon.)
The "unibody/frameless vehicles can't tow" thing is a myth, as evidenced by several unibody vehicles on the market today with very high tow ratings: VW Touareg is a unibody vehicle and has a tow rating of 7700 lbs.
In the 70s my grandparents towed a much heavier, longer, trailer with a car with about 1/2 the horsepower, shorter wheelbase, lighter weight than my Sienna, and using a hitch with no WD or sway control. They liked going out west, and took it through the mountains many times. Going uphill was slow, and sometimes required rolling down the windows and blasting the heater to keep the engine cool. Not ideal, but it did it. (I've not gone out west with mine, but it does fine in WV, NC, MD, etc...)
People today want to be able to behave as if they're NOT towing something, when they are. Same speeds, same behaviors. Have to wonder if it's not the cause of some accidents - people not being careful because they think their vehicle is so capable that they can ignore the trailer.
