I would be happy to help you set up your 2015 Sienna to tow a 2004 Starcraft Travel Star trailer. You're going to need a hitch, a pair of wiring harnesses, ball mount kit, brake controller, and a mounting bracket. I have listed the parts you will need below along with any installation videos we may have:

Trailer Hitch - etrailer Class III Trailer Hitch item # e98853

Wiring Harnesses - 4-Way - Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Connector item # C56261 or item # C56106 if your Sienna is the SE model. You will want to confirm because the connectors are different.

7-Way - Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller item # ETBC7

Mounting Bracket - No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136

Brake Controller - Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller item # RED24FR and the Universal Wiring Harness item # RED69FR

Ball Mount Kit - Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534

There isn't a way that we can help you install a third crossbar on the roof of your 2015 Toyota Sienna so the best option would be a hitch like the etrailer #e98853 and a Rhino-Rack T-Load #RTL002.
