Tow with 2014 Grand Caravan R/T?
I'm going to start by saying I know little (almost nothing) about this subject. Treat my ignorance with kindness, please! My husband and I road trip long distances and tent camp with our three kids...

According to the Dodge web site, the 2015 Grand Caravan R/T has:
Curb weight of 4510 lbs
GVWR of 6050 lbs
GCWR of 8750 lbs with the tow package (had to look this up in the owner's manual, which can be downloaded)
Maximum trailer frontal area of 40 square feet
Crunching the numbers, it appears you can tow 3600 pounds with a nearly empty minivan, or around 3000 pounds with maybe 750-800 ponds in the minivan without exceeding the limits, assuming the axle weights are okay. It's not an ideal tow vehicle, but it should be capable of towing a popup safely with a little care.
