Ford's definition of "max trailer weight" is with a 150 lb passenger 
in every seating position, which on a full-sized van adds up.  What's 
important is the GCWR minus the actual weight of the loaded and wet 
van and the GVWR minus the actual weight of the loaded and wet van.  
Get the van weighed fully fueled and loaded, and compare it to the 
ratings.  Assume the Airstream will weigh 6300 lbs for GCWR, and that 
the tongue, hitch, etc is gonna add about 1000 lbs for the GVWR.
