As others have said, thats a lot of trailer for a half ton.
For just the two of you its also a lot of space, at least for travel.
For starters I would suggest you consider renting a trailer and taking a 300 mile trip to try the experience. Both the towing, and the living part. If recliners are a must, many trailers in the 25 foot range are set up for them and have one or more slides for additional space.
Check locally for some that are available as rentals, they may not be easy to find, rental tt's tend to be bunkhouse units for families but you may find one.
Not recommending any particular one but this article list multiple agencies that handle rentals, you may find one close to you.

One example in texas from that site this is a 26' box.

three day rental may give you an idea.
Good luck
