If you do end up towing with the minivan, my guess is that you won't be able to load it seven-seats full. Be sure to check the owners manual, because it will tell you if you get a decreased GVW when towing.

Also, with most front-drive vehicles (most minivans), you can count on a requirement for lighter tongue weight so you'll need to load the trailer accordingly and actually try to measure this if you can, even if just by lifting it. Important for stability.

I've towed our one-axle 14ft team trailer with my minivan a short distance, not at full weight and it was fine, but not fun. I actually don't recommend it. I just took four seats full. Also, my minivan has an add-on transmission cooler. I recommend.

Good luck.
