    Towing a van involves putting you foot down alot more than normal.
    So if the new parts especially the rings and bearing have not had a chance to bed in, then I would err on the side caution.
    Engine will suffer blow by no doubt
    Another way of looking at it.
    Hang around for a week longer do some k's to run in.
    This way if something should go wrong you are still near the work shop that did the work.

    I would also hazard a guess, any warranty may to would be null and void if not run in at least before towing.
    Good idea to have a follow up check before you head off to insure every thing is as it should be before you leave.
    No leaks any where , bolts missing, loose bolts etc.
    Also the Missus is not going to be happy if it goes pear shaped 500k from nearest town.
    Cheers
