Toilet for one person, 2 gallons a day since you will often be outside the trailer.
Fuel economy, small trailer with a i/2 ton pickup will get decent mileage by rv standards, maybe as high as 12 to 14 mpg, but remember that you have a large wind resistant area on the front, they dont pull as easily as a boat of low open trailer. Your driving speed is a major determining factor.
Sports venues likely would mean medium to larger cities, add Gander Mountain and some similar locations to your cheap overnight stops and some of those even offer a dump station. Also there are websites and apps that help. www.rvdumps.com or www.sanidumps.com
Add solar for your power since you wont often have power available, and you have an idea of whats within reason.
If the work requires internet access add the cost of a high data plan since you would not have hotel wifi to use.
