Not an answer but more the experience we had with a 3 Lt. D Turbo Patrol towing a 17 ft Jayco poptop Expanda from Perth .
Around town solo about 10.7 -100
On trip with van loaded to the ceiling 13.2- 100 sitting between 80 - 90 KPH
The rule of thumb I was told to use was once you hook up a van , boat or the like you can half you fuel economy . I assume the Toy having a 6 cylinder it would be a little more thirsty .
There are to many variables to take into account to give even a ball park figure.

Hi all, I have a 100 series t/diesel and we average about 17l -18L p/100k towing a 2.5 tonne boat. I generally sit near or at the speed limit and push it along.
The previous owner of my car who now has a 200 series tows a 3.2 tonne 24 ft van has told me he is getting about the 18l p/100km. i am unsure of what speed he travels at. By the way the 200 series is a twin turbo V8 diesel or petrol V8.
Given your van is considerably lighter, i would expect these figures at a minimum, after running in, depending on your driving.
Hope this might give an indication.

Paul, when you return I would be interested in the actual consumption figures for your rig .
I thought the greenies almost had the govt ban V8's.
Have a great time out there all the best
