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 Kia Sorento is rated to pull 1650 lbs in the states. In Australia it's rated to pull over 4000 lbs.
Except for a diesel option exactly the same vehicle.As a result of the rating given in the US, you would be extremely wary about exceeding its tow ratings in case you were in an accident and insurance refused to pay. although it would be as capable of doing that same thing as in Australia, depending on the hitch fitted.
As I mentioned earlier US Pickup ratings are very much downrated here. The PR spin that is part of the Pickup culture in NA does not exist , so US Diesel pickups lose thousands of lbs in towing ability when rated here. They are much more conservative when it comes to commercial use vehicles.
From Caravanners forum
That would mean complying with the rule dictating that the trailed mass(Not US basic weight, but water etc) shall not exceed that of 1.5 times that of the towing vehicle.
Subject, of course to the towbar manufacturer's restrictions and the requirement for the prescribed brakes etc.
