Some things to consider:
1) Be careful with adding "permanent" items such as cooking utensils, pots and pans, bedding, cleaning fluids, outdoor chairs, electronics, decorations, etc. When I traded in my previous TT last summer and cleaned it out, I could not believe how much stuff (and weight) I had added to the towing combination over the years. Since my current TT is larger and heavier, I only transferred less than half of this stuff to the new one, cutting down weight.
2) Sticking to shorter trips in flatter terrain helps with pulling and stopping the TT. I'm not sure if you have that option, depending on where you live in WA.
3) If you go to CGs without utilities, sometimes they have water sources at locations around the property, so you can fill up water when you get there (you may need water container(s) and a funnel.
4) Weight balance in shorter TTs are really influenced by where you add your loadings. Keep close to the axles and monitor your tongue weight closely.
