Your rental experience might give you some sense of this, but I would encourage you to be a little weary of that much length. Some might throw out hard and fast ratios on wheelbase vs. trailer length, but most of those seem to have origins in the opinion of some blogger or commentator. I've yet to see a formal guide on length published by any recognized manufacturer of vehicles or trailers - so this doesn't have a way to 'crunch numbers' as you can with weights.
That said. 29' is a LOT of sail to put behind the short wheelbase of a Durango. Furthermore, such a light trailer at that length is going to be pushed around by wind that much more easily. Weight is essential, but I would suggest that you will find that much length to be too much to comfortably control with a mid-size SUV.
