One key thing to watch is the payload, or cargo carrying capacity. Should be a yellow sticker on the inside of the drivers side door jamb.
Payload gets used up quickly with tongue weight, so you'll want to focus your TT search on some lighter trailers for that reason. And do not look at the dry weights of trailers. A safe assumption will be somewhere between the dry weight and GVWR for total weight ready for camping. Then assume around 12% of that estimated total weight for your tongue weight. Good luck.
