Can't see it being a problem, a friend towed hers behind a Zafira & all it needed was a longer mast support.

Old Grey Fox had a VW camper van and used to tow his moth without a problem , but I am ot familiar with models to know if what he had is the same. We have a modified mast support for towing the two Moths behind the Romahome, which is rather high. Trident made the support taller for us and it wasn't that expensive. We did have one disaster when we brought a mast home without a boat underneath it, raising the angle. I drove very carefully home, breathed a sigh of relief as we turned up the drive, and snagged the neighbors low hanging telephone line....d.brought down the line, the gutter and the fascia board. Better to have the boats under it.

You can alway put the mast on the roof, alone with the bikes etc.

I had no problem towing with my bay window VW. It had the westfalia roof which made it about 9 inches higher than the standard "tin roof" camper. I had an extension added to the mast support of approx 2 feet which gave plenty of clearance and towed all over the Moth circuit with no dramas.
Hook you boat and trailer on ther back of your T4 and put the foot of the mast on the lighting board and the top of the mast on the roof of van, lift mast to suitable clearance and measure vertical distance between mast and top[ of mast support. Get extra bit bolted or welded on.
As the Meerkat says...........simple.
