A good friend of mine used to have a Desert Fox. He had a the 28' front bath model. It was a very well built trailer and from what I remember he had almost zero trouble. Desert Fox are known as 4 season trailers as they come very well insulated. His was also heavy from what I remember. He hauled 2 utility quads and everything else for camping and I believe his tongue weight was up around 1,400lb. The trailer loaded came in around the 12k range. My opinion is it will depend how you load it to reach a comfortable tongue weight. Invest in a good tongue scale as we did (shared purchase)and even take it with you when you go to look at trailers to get a "true" weight.
