Yes, you'll need a WD hitch setup for sure.. Any trailer you look at will have over #500 TW, but you can usually get that as a package deal with the new TT from the dealer or get one on your own.. That's going to be it's own tread, or you can search the site and read for WEEKS on the many different brands and types!
Along the lines of what you load in the truck, I pack HEAVY... ;) I take so much stuff that I don't even use, it's laughable... BUT, when I need that stuff, it certainly comes in handy..
I've helped out camping neighbors with tools and extra hands for things and I've needed my own tools and such to fix my own stuff.. I just had the gray tank DROP off it's mounts while in camp... Fixed it on the spot and it's actually better than it was before now! :)
Anyway, I've packed more than #1500 of stuff in my little 22' trailer.. That includes the extra "mods" I've done and I like cooking with cast iron pans too!
I carry a full load of water (30 gallon fresh water tank) and take along bottled water and whatever else I want to have while "camping".. :)
I've tent camped and bought a TT so I don't have to limit myself in what I can take, so I've paid my dues! :)
Just know that towing a full sided TT is different than a boat trailer and that "tow rating" does not specify what kind of trailer you are towing..
