According to my research your 2000 Chrysler Town and Country can be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground as long as you use a transmission lube pump from Remco Industries. We sell everything else you would need except for the lube pump.

First you will need base plates # 242-2. Then, for a compatible tow bar, you can use the Falcon 2 # RM-520. I have linked a video of this tow bar for you. You will also need safety cables # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep them off of the ground.

For lighting I recommend a simple magnetic light kit such as # RM-2120 so you will not have to cut and splice into the vehicle wiring.

And finally, most states now require supplemental braking on the vehicle being flat towed. You can use the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251. It will apply the van brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the easiest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.

Be sure to consult an owners manual if you can find one, or a Chrysler dealer for specific information on flat towing the vehicle. I have also included some helpful links to our series of help articles on flat towing for you.
