Four down towing

Me and my wife are looking to enter the Class A RV world. We travel the southeast selling jewelry at various festivals. Currently we pull a 5 x 8 cargo trailer. I am wanting to know if anyone is towing a Ford Transit Connect or a Nissan Compact Cargo using a dinghy. We feel this could serve as our trailer and a getting around vehicle.
I would be happy to consider any options anyone may have.
Thanks

We towed an '05 Odyssey for doing cat/dog show sales. Then it was my daily driver in between.

before you buy anything consider this...

the amount of weight you can safely tow will be the lesser of the following:

- the gross combination weight rating of the MH minus the actual weight of the MH as it is loaded and configured for travel

- the weight rating of your hitch

- the weight rating of your tow bar
