Do not purchase a trailer that would be right at the max your vehicle will tow. Have a little extra towing capacity. Get a load level hitch with a sway bar. You will be much more stable. Renting a trailer is a good idea to test things out. We purchased a trailer many years ago and it looked really good in walking through but it was not good when we were in it for any period of time. The viewing of the TV was awkward and there was not enough floor space for us to get around each other and the dog. For example, many smaller trailers have beds that are in a corner and you cannot walk around them. That can be a problem if the person on the wall needs to get up and it is also hard to make the bed. How usable is the trailer with the slide(s) in? Also, buy a quality made trailer and lightly used, if possible. Never trust ANYTHING the salesperson tells you. Check out everything yourself and get all the weight numbers yourself.
