Yes, we've towed a large TT across the country, several times. Good advice to plan ahead for spots you want to visit and to buy good RV-oriented roadside assistance (GS has worked well for us, but there are some competitors out there; bear in mind one may work well in most areas but in a few areas, not so much, since they do depend on local resources).
I would add, travel LIGHT. That's especially important since you may be at or near your weight limit. (Is that 6366 figure the trailer's unloaded weight, or is it the GVWR of the trailer? Remember that onboard water & propane count toward the total weight too. You don't want to overload the trailer, so take less than you think you need. You may have to do laundry more often, but that's ok. (Save your quarters ahead of time, if you can.)
More advice: when laundry time is due, stay at a private campground whose ratings mention clean laundry room. Worth it, trust me. A lot of state parks will say they have laundry facilities, but most of those will be a communal utility sink. :)
