Hello Jonathan
You have a diverse crowd here so you may get some varied opinions.
One big plus is that you already own one and you like it.
The specs look fairly good. Your van weighs over 4500 LBs and uses the infamous VR 6 engine. Four wheel independant suspension is a plus. You get maximum torque at 2500 RPM. Good! The wheelbase is not bad at 116 inches and the rear overhang very short. Powerwise it might not be great in the steep mountain passes out west.
There may be concern with the hitch weight. You may need a custom hitch but that isn't a major problem.
You would need an extra tranny cooler
Equalizing hitch, brake controller, and sway control.
My combination works very well. You would have a smaller trailer and more power than me.
Note... The new Bambi and my 1973 23' Safari would be similar in (travel ready) weight. I suspect the 23' Safari would have a towing stability advantage with the tandum axles but the two extra wheels/tires would create more drag.
