Your making the mistake of only considering tow capacity. Payload of your van (what it can carry) is the limiting factor and will be exceeded before reaching tow capacity. Take the advice of getting it weighed, then post a picture of the sticker in the door jamb.
The weight you will need to add to this is the tongue weight of whatever TT you decide to get. You can get close to this weight by calculating 12% of the Gross - not empty weight of the TT.
Add to this the weight of the hitch receiver and the weight distribution setup.
Good luck.

Take a look at the Jayco X254. It's a king bed hard rear slide and 4 bunks up front. We've got the smaller X213 with 2 bunks up front and are happily using it with 3 adults and 2 kids. Gives you the advantage of a hybrid but keeping with a fully hard sided trailer

Thanks for this tip... I am curious as to what the beds are rated to hold when they are slid out... I am a big guy (270lbs). My wife is around 140lbs. Are we going to have any problems breaking the unit at those weights?
Per the 2015 Feather brochure:
A reversed-cambered support system creates a durable
structure rated to hold 1,100 lbs., while a permanent
tent-to-bunk attachment system with channel locks
eliminates misplaced poles.

Be careful about "brochure" weights - most trailers come in at 400# or so over the listed weight.
IIRR a Roo 233 is a 3-bed hybrid.
I've wondered about this. Why is this? How is this legal?
