As far as the trailer is concerned. The little Harbor Freight trailers aren’t really designed to go cross country although I suppose someone has done it.
Not really the weight police, but sounds like you are taking a lot of chances and need to buy a truck or change plans.
I had 1 of those trailers for 26 years and sold it to a friend this year.
Mine was routinely overloaded and at the end I carried 3000lb garden sculpture on 1000lb trailer via my backyard.
Originally those trailers come with cheap tires, but Less Schwab carries the size with much higher rating.
I used the trailer few times on 600 miles trips just fine.
Like I said, someone has probably done it. I’m not sure why you bothered to get a DRW, a F150 would have carried your camper just fine. Think of the money you wasted. Joking ...
For the record, the little Harbor Freight trailer rating is 1090 lbs. By the time you add sides of almost any type and a spare and trailer jack, you are way below 1000. You can bet it has at most 1500 lb axles. Plus it has tiny wheels which will be spinning really fast at any reasonable interstate speed. That’s a recipe for bearing destruction especially in hot weather. That is, if you are lucky enough for the trailer to stay bolted together.
