Question:
Wow, totally awesome. One last question (ok two). This vehicle does not have a transmission cooler, I'm pretty sure that it is needed. Lastly, will I need any suspension enhancements?

I did some checking and your 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan has a towing capacity of 3,700 lbs so you'd be within capacity to tow a 3,200 lb trailer. For a hitch you'd want the part # 75305 for if you have the stow n go rear seats or part # 75119 for if you do not. I attached an install video for the # 75305.
For trailer wiring you'd want the # 118300 as a start but since you're so near your capacity you'll want a brake controller as well to activate the trailer's brakes to help you slow safely.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
