water tank / propane tank / tow hitch / dry weight / stuff we load in
Example if a dry weight is 3100 then add all of the above.
water tank 210lb
propane tank 60lb
tow hitch 400lb
dry weight 3100lb
stuff we load in (not much just my wife and I)
Recommendations on what manor to look for

The AstroVan is a towing monster. It will handle any TM built. HOWEVER....... check the "Payload Weight" of the van. Be sure to include the tongue wt of the trailer, all cargo and passengers when figuring if you can use that van as a TV. Don't make the mistake of figuring that it can tow 5100# plus 3,000# of passengers and cargo.
