So are you still going to haul motorcycle in bed of truck?
The size of trailer will still depend on available truck payload........actual available payload NOT some mfg published number on line, in brochure etc.
15% of any trailers GVWR will be the tongue weight you will want to be able to carry with available payload of truck.
Figure out payload number then you can 'shop' for a trailer.
Then you will have a better understanding of what you can tow and IF it is going to work for your adventure of living in a trailer as you work full time at nursing assignments.
Looking at trailers until you have the 'numbers' is not going to be productive.
