A compact campervan does not automatically mean limited capability, and the Mini-T Campervan lineup is a good example of that balance. Offered on multiple platforms, the Mini-T Campervan by DLM-Distribution is designed to remain easy to drive and park while still providing meaningful towing capability for those who want to bring extra gear, small trailers, or recreational equipment along for the trip.

Towing Capacity Across the Mini-T Lineup

Towing capability varies by chassis, and understanding those differences is important when selecting the right Mini-T Campervan. The Ford Transit Connect Mini-T Campervan offers a towing capacity of up to 2,000 pounds, making it suitable for small utility trailers, lightweight cargo trailers, and compact watercraft. This level of towing works well for travelers who need additional storage space without stepping up to a larger vehicle.

For those requiring more capability, both the Chrysler Pacifica Mini-T Campervan and the Voyager Mini-T Campervan provide a significantly higher towing capacity of 3,600 pounds. This rating opens the door to towing larger utility trailers, enclosed cargo trailers, motorcycles, small campers, and a wider range of boats. Having the same towing capacity across the Pacifica and Voyager platforms allows buyers to choose based on drivetrain or feature preferences without sacrificing towing strength.

Engine Performance and Towing Confidence

The increased towing capacity of the Pacifica and Voyager Mini-T Campervans is supported by their V6 engine platforms, which are designed to deliver steady power under load. This makes towing more predictable on highways, backroads, and rolling terrain. While these Mini-T Campervans are not intended to replace heavy-duty trucks, they provide a practical middle ground for owners who want towing capability without committing to a large or inefficient vehicle.

Hitch Setup and Tow Equipment

Mini-T Campervans equipped for towing use a standard 2-inch receiver hitch, which is compatible with a wide range of towing accessories and trailer types. A 4-pin flat wiring connector supports basic trailer lighting functions, helping ensure visibility and safety while towing. This setup allows owners to connect common utility and recreational trailers without the need for custom hardware.

Understanding Tongue Weight Limits

Tongue weight plays a critical role in safe towing and handling. The Ford Transit Connect Mini-T Campervan supports a tongue weight of up to 200 pounds, which aligns with its 2,000-pound towing rating. Both the Chrysler Pacifica and Voyager Mini-T Campervans support a higher tongue weight of 360 pounds, matching their 3,600-pound towing capacity. Staying within these limits helps maintain stability, braking performance, and overall driving confidence.

Choosing the Right Mini-T Campervan for Towing

Selecting the right Mini-T Campervan depends largely on how you plan to use it. The Transit Connect Mini-T Campervan works well for lighter towing needs and those who prioritize maximum fuel efficiency and compact size. The Chrysler Pacifica and Voyager Mini-T Campervans are better suited for owners who want additional towing strength while still maintaining everyday drivability and a manageable footprint.

Across the lineup, the Mini-T Campervan offers a practical blend of maneuverability and capability. Whether towing a small gear trailer or a heavier recreational load, these campervans allow travelers to bring along what matters most without stepping into the size, cost, and complexity of larger RVs or trucks.

Happy Camping!
