Towing uhaul cargo trailer with 26' Class C

My hitch does not appear to be the same age as the RV--it looks to be newer and the bumper also appears to have been reinforced, but I will take it next week and have them take a look at it. I may end up just throwing away my entire life's belongings instead. I checked the price of the "U-Box" and $1100 may be "reasonable" to you but its more than a month's income for me so thats off the list. I have no home except the Midas and everything I own in storage. I'm just trying to salvage what I can of my life and start over somewhere where the health care I need is available to me.
Thanks for the info on the way around the mountains--I would rather buy some extra gas than go through that ordeal again....
