Newbie looking for easy to pull trailer 28-30'.
Need it for long term missions work camps all over US. Want to be able to pull it with a 1500 Silverado. And any helpful information would be great. Moderately priced, used, trailer would be needed.

As suggested, check the max cargo or payload rating of you truck first. It is on a sticker on the truck and varies by truck model.
My 2011 F-150 has a max cargo of 1411 lbs. So even though it will tow a 9000 lb. trailer; the truck load including the tongue weight cannot exceed 1411 lbs.
Typically with a ½ ton this means you can tow about a 5000 lb. trailer or something about 25 ft. or so, and still have capacity for people and gear.
