    Not necessarily a bad idea. Gives you flexibility. You have to look at the towing capacity of your van and the weight of enclosed trailers to see what your payload would be. Vans aren't known to have large combined weight ratings.

    I'd also recommend some pretty healthy anti-sway upgrades, both to the van suspension and to your trailer hitch. Lot of sail area there for the amount of rubber on the road.
