As a first step, I'd recommend definitively finding out the tow capacity of your Town and Country. The 1800 lb capacity sounds about right. The owners manual states that vehicles equipped with the 'trailer tow package' can handle up to 3800 lbs (with only two people in the vehicle). The trailer tow package almost certainly includes a transmission cooler, but there might very well be other upgrades like different gearing or suspension modifications that provide the increased towing capacity.... view full answer...
We've got exactly what you're needing to get on down the road with your pop-up. As a first step, please confirm with your owner's manual that your Town and Country has sufficient towing capacity to safely tow your pop-up.
For a hitch, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class III receiver, part # 75579. The Draw-Tite model won't require that the underside of the bumper fascia be trimmed, or that a stabilizing strap be used for non-trailer loads like bike racks or cargo trays in order to retain... view full answer...
The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98854 is what I recommend for a 2016 Chrysler Town and Country which will work on models with Stow-N-Go seating.

In order to complete your towing setup you'll also need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56331 which offers plug-n-play installation... view full answer...
i'd be happy to help you with that.
For a hitch, the etralier # e98854 would be an excellent choice, with plenty of capacity for the pop up camper you mentioned. It would also serve as a handy attachment point for a hitch mounted bike rack like the Thule # TH934XTR or a cargo carrying tray like # S68FR.
You'll also need a trailer wring harness like # C56331, a ball mount like # D-28 and a # PC3 hitch pin. You'll also need a trailer ball like # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a... view full answer...

The best hitch for your 2008 Chrysler Town and Country for carrying a wheelchair carrier like you mentioned would be the etrailer # e98854 which has the best tongue weight capacity and has a mostly hidden appearance which looks the best and also helps with ground clearance. In the description it says max GTW with weight distribution is 5,000 lbs which is a system that distributes some tongue weight up to the front axle which increases the weight capacity.

The Snug-Tite lock # THSTL2 for various Thule bike racks, including the Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR, is not required. The rack comes with a threaded hitch bolt to stabilize and secure the rack in the trailer hitch. The lock replaces the hitch bolt and adds a locking feature to deter theft of the bike rack. It is up to you if you want to add it or not.
Another option, when you have bikes loaded, is to use a cable lock such as # e98891 routed through the bikes and the safety chain loops... view full answer...

The Curt Hitch - 2" # 13389 fits 2005-2007 Chrysler Town and Countrys with stow-n-go seating. While we do have other brands that fit your vehicle, we unfortunately do not have any models that install with a hidden crosstube. Those other options are the # C12289, and the # e39KR. All of these options have visible crosstubes.
Out of all of these hitches, I recommend going with the # 13389 you were looking at. This is because since it is a 2" hitch, it is compatible with a wider range of... view full answer...

Your main problem is an insufficient ground for the trailer wiring. Try improving the connection of the main ground wire of the trailer wiring harness. Make sure it is attached to a clean metal surface. Or you can run all of the trailer wires back to the main ground. This is actually the ideal solution. But you can also check the current grounds for the lights to make sure they are making a solid connection to a clean metal surface.
What you described is the classic insufficient ground... view full answer...
To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle.
There are a few figures to look first. Your 2014 Chrysler Town and Country owner's manual shows that the maximum towing capacity of the vehicle is 3,600 pounds with 2 people and luggage and the tongue weight... view full answer...
The extension for the part # TH859XT is the part # TH8591XT. To fit this on your 2014 Chrysler Town and Country would require you to have a roof rack with crossbars that are spread between 20" and 37" apart. lf this is the case, the extension will work just fine.
I actually attached an install video that shows the # TH859XT installed on a 2014 Town and Country just like yours as well. In the video the van has the factory roof rack. view full answer...
For your single torsion axle, I reached out to my contact at Dexter Axle and was able to find a lift kit for you. I recommend the Torflex lift kit for single axle # K71-723-01. This will allow you to lift the axle on your 2003 Star-craft Star Shuttle by 2.63 inches. view full answer...

This add-on rack has a weight capacity of 50lbs per bike, but you could transport your 75lb RadWagon on the main... view full answer...
