Well keep in mind the trailer is pretty light, and actually tow's tounge up since I don't use a drop hitch. The trailer is a 3500lb GVWR single axle utility trailer. The problem with it, is it has a 2' high support system around the outer edge, which when turning hard would hit the camper.
Weight wise I picked up the 18" extension which de-rates down to 6000lb towing and 600 hitch weight. I would guess I have less than 200lb's hitch weight. Again it's not the weight of the trailer, its the type of trailer being pulled behind a truck camper.
Boats tow easier because of their shape, picture it as trying to tow an enclosed trailer behind your truck, the square front of the trailer will smack your camper long before a pointed boat trailer will.
