If you can stay under 7000# you should be ok. I pull a 27' that weighs 6500 - 7000 ready to camp full water.

I've been to Alaska and east to Wyoming and haven't found a hill I can't go up at 65mph, most I could do 80 if I wanted to. length should be ok also, we came back through Idaho and hit a 30 to probably 40 mph side wind for about 300 miles the trailer moved a little but nothing unmanageable. it actually handled the wind better than I thought it would. i wouldn't go much over 7000 if you can and as far as tongue weight you might have to watch how you load the trailer.
