I have towed my wide-bed many miles on an open trailer with my pickup, no problems. Behind a van should be even better. A friend towed his woody from CA to AZ a few years back. He put a blanket over it, then a tarp, then wrapped it all tight with duct tape to keep the wind from flapping the tarp. It traveled very well, but took some work. IMO, the biggest worry would be wind damage to the top material.
