Gdetrailer: Thanks for all of that. Believe me, you are singing my tune with the first bit about diving into the deep end. This isn't my idea.
We have been renting for the past 5 years, so we have a pretty good idea about the packing issues, and eliminating anything we do not absolutely need. But our rentals have been motorhomes (24-28 foot), so the tow vehicle and tow capacity is all new, same for parking.
