You will likely "on paper" be well within the limits.
On the road and in action within traffic will be the unknowns.
How much effect will passing trucks/buses have on that size trailer? Will the truck maintain stability through that?
Staying in your flatlands area will be one thing also, hills, mountains will be different.
I still think as a newbie to towing, a little experience with a rental may help clear some things for you. Rent a couple of times, a 25' box once and a bigger one next, Back them both into a few spots, practice with both in a parking lot. If you have never towed at all, rent a u-haul trailer and just go to a school parking lot on a Sunday to practice backing and turning. It will be a much shorter trailer, but you will get an idea of what manuevering a trailer is like and can do it for about $50.
A new custom trailer is not a cheap impulse purchase, know as much as possible first.
