We have a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan and a HW296. Didn't have the tow package so upgraded the Caravan to the tow package specs. Added a receiver hitch, HD trans cooler, rear HD load leveling shocks and ran the wiring for a 7 pin harness, added a Primus brake controller and a Pro Series 10k WDH. Probably a little large on the WDH but rather it be a little overkill to make sure that the weight is properly distributed to the front wheels. I found the main thing was the initial adjustment of the WDH with the camper and van loaded to get the proper hitch height and tension bar position.
We live in SC and haven't traveled into any major mountains yet but it feels very comfortable towing, braking, interstates, ect. If we start doing some serious mountain travel and camping will probably upgrade to a F250 or similar to feel good with serious grades.
