Expert Reply:
Your 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan with Stow-N-Go Seats can be fitted with either a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class II hitch or a heavier duty 2-inch Class III type. We offer options in both sizes and all will fit your version of the Grand Caravan with Stow-N-Go seats. The link will let you see all options.
I suggest a heavier-duty Class III type hitch because it will give you a greater safety margin and also be more widely compatible with a whole range of accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. The hitch I suggest is the Curt # 13364. It includes all required installation hardware and the install process is shown in the linked video.
You will also need a wiring harness to operate your trailer's lights. I suggest Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118552 since it offers simpler plug-in installation. A video is included for this item as well.
You'll also need a ball mount, pin and clip so a good option is the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # EBMK4 which gives you two hitch balls, two ball mounts and the pin and clip all together in a handy bag.
The linked article on towing basics may also be helpful to you.
