Hello, (I have searched and read the few posts on this issue I could find)

I have a (read signature below) edit: I have and plan to use a lighter weight, load leveling hitch. It has anti sway feature too. (probably overkill)

My wife and I are considering getting a small travel trailer to tow behind my truck. So far, I have loaded it with 1300 pounds of sand and driven it with no problems, but I don't have a trailer to test. It's not a race car to begin with so I don't expect to go fast and we would take back roads and avoid highways where possible.

We plan on taking a two to three week trip that would take us into mountains and long flat areas.

We are considering a 13 to 16 foot trailer that weighs 1,000 to 2,000 MAX trailer weight. We want to get something old like a shasta, or scotty. The very lightweight trailers like scamps are Ok but very expensive for our budget. We really have about $1200 to spend and don't want to rebuild. We would keep the contents to a minimum and put a few things in the back of the truck to kep the weight down

I see the huge 22re camper trucks and think the wind resistance must be similar and the weight can't be that much off.

What do you guys think, what kind of experience have you had? Am I out of my mind to think I can do this?
