1992 - 2005
Chrysler - Town & Country (AWD)  
         
Remarks: ONLY if you get a tow dollies that allows all 4 wheels to be off the ground. You can check with U-haul or Budget rental centers.

Personally, I'd invest in a tool used to measure the temp. of each tire (wheel & bearing). Start off around 40 mph for around 40 miles. Stop check all wheels , make sure they are all about the temp. Ask the rental company what the average temp should be. You may have to do this several times before you find the right speed for you. You will still need to stop every so often, about an hour to let the tire cool down and the driver take a break. You didn't say what you'll be towing this with. You can use the same tool to test those tires as well. Now days, a lot of motorhomes come with the temp gauge. Check all tire pressure before you start out. If your going to be loading the van, make sure the weight is level.

If I have failed to answer your question in full detail, please fell free to submit it to the towing pool again.

Wishing you a safe & happy trip!
