It should be OK, I've used mine (Powrtouch on a single axle, and well within it's weight capacity) to shift van between bays in the storage yard, probably a 100yds, plus much shunting back and forth and aligning in the actual bays. Not a hint of a problem when doing so.
A few things to consider.
The leisure battery needs to be in good order, of sufficient capacity, and near fully charged, otherwise you risk the battery protection (undervoltage/battery discharged) circuit tripping out and leaving you stranded - the MMs put a heavy load on the battery and will severely test it's state of health! It'll likely take 15-20 minutes to travel that distance! Your remote control battery also needs to be in good order, because you'll have your finger on the buttons and operating it constantly during your move! There is a risk that the overheat protection on motors or controller may trip out with prolonged continuos use, that is more likely if you are nearing the max weight capacity of the MM - you will then have to wait some time (possibly 15-20 mins) for it to cool and reset before you can continue!
In the event of the MM failing for whatever reason, would your immobilised van be a total obstruction, both to being recovered by towing, and to general site movement?
In all likelihood, it'd be fine. People move vans some distance and up steepish inclines successfully, which is far more challenging.
But remember, you need to move the van back to storage, so battery will likely need a recharge before return trip, off grid use would probably be unwise!
