Most travel trailers have brakes, but you need a controller in the truck. Tekonsha Prodigy is a good one.
An Equal-i-zer brand WD hitch with built-in sway control can be had for about $450. Or an Andersen No-Sway would work; I think they're about the same or a bit more.
You must not be keeping much stuff if you think it won't weigh more than 1500-2000 lbs. You will want to weigh the trailer and the tongue when packed to ensure proper front-to-back weight loading; you want 10% to 15% of total trailer weight on the hitch.
