Pulling a "Toad" on a Trailer?

Has anyone tried pulling their "Toad" vehicle on a trailer? I'm talking about a Class A Gasser with the Triton V-10...

The reason that I ask is that I have a Subaru Outback.. All Wheel Drive means that I can't tow either 2 down or 4 down. I don't really want to go and purchase a dedicated Toad, but would like to have a transportation option.

Looking at potentially buying a 1000lb trailer (weight, not capacity), and loading my 3,386lb (Curb Weight) Outback on it. Total weight: 4386 -- which won't put me over GCWR for the Class A.

Do I need electric brakes? Surge brakes?

Thoughts?

Thanks!

unless you've already weighed the MH you're assuming that it weighs at or less than it's GVWR. more importantly you're assuming that the weight on each axle is less than or equal to it's gross axle weight rating. before you do anything I strongly suggest you load up the MH as you would for travel...don't forget pets and people...and get certified weights on each axle. then compare to GAWR.
