The Thule OutWay 2 Trunk-Mount Bike Rack # TH45JV that you referenced is indeed a fit on your 2014 Chrysler Town and Country van. I verified this with Thule and within our own fit guide.

This premium-quality trunk rack includes a cable lock to secure your loaded bikes, road-dampening technology (RDT) to help absorb road shock and minimize vibration and the patented FitDial mounting system that makes installation easy. Do note that when a trunk rack is installed your rear wiper cannot be operated. Thule provides a limited lifetime warranty on this outstanding bike rack.

If you will be transporting women's, kid's or alternative-design bikes that do not have a horizontal top frame tube you may want to consider using a bike adapter bar like the Thule # TH982XT or the Swagman EasyOut # 64005. These adapters connect between the seat and handlebar posts to provide a level mounting surface to mate with the carrier's arms. This helps keep the bikes level for safe ground clearance. Some bikes may fit properly without an adapter bar thanks to the dual arms that can be adjusted independently.

Videos for both the rack and the adapter bar are linked for you at right.
