The trailer hitches we offer that are designed to fit your 2005 Grand Caravan do not come with a wiring harness or ball mount kit but I can help you out with that.
First, I recommend installing a Class lll trailer hitch like part # 75305 with a 2-inch receiver opening. It is a more heavy-duty hitch and it offers many more options for accessories.
For the Class lll hitch I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring I recommend part # 118300. This plugs into the connection points behind the tail lights and gives you a 4-way trailer connector at the back of your van.
