Thanks for the replies.
Spare tire, I've looked into mounting it underneath, but for some reason, the diameter of the tire is bigger than the frame width. I've got the lift mechanism, E-trailer one someone mentioned. Still working on how to get everything to fit under there. My E350 van has that.
As far as leaving stuff behind, that probably would be the best way, but for this trip, there is no behind, we're selling the house and moving across the country, so not only do we need the stuff, but will be stuck with what we can carry for several months until I can find a new place and get the household stuff delivered. I use the generator for my photography stuff, generator in rig is too noisy when there are a lot of people around. Plus there's a severe lack of electrical outlets on the outside.
I've been looking at a small 5x8 single axle. Tow hitch is supposedly rated at 3500lbs, trailers are maxed out at about 2900 or so so that should be ok. Backup camera is hooked to the stereo in the cab which gives you the option to turn on when ever including while driving down the road. Speed limits aren't too much of a concern (assuming it's not 45mph that u-haul recommends) I don't tend to like to drive more than about 65 or 70 depending on the road. **** thing uses too much gas if I drive faster than that.
