Done a bit of a search here and Google trying to get info an fuel economy while towing an Avan; more specifically the lightest model the Sportsliner (tare weight 670kg).
I have a Mitsubishi 4 cylinder auto Outlander and normally average around 9 litters/100kms on country trips.

Based on past experience with a petrol Pajero and 700kg camper trailer, add 30% when heading off for a week or more.
What you forget when you go on these trips your vehicle also has a lot more weight in it compared to what you would have for an overnight country trip. You may also have more people (kids) in it as
well.
You attribute the blow out in consumption entirely to the van, but you forget about all the extra weight you throw in your vehicle as
well.
