This combination has seen longer round trips from Seattle to St. Louis and Seattle to Lake Havasu, but there are many other shorter trips over the mountain ranges we do more often.
The trailer may haul a pair dune buggies or scooters or a combination of other toys based on our destination. When we dry camp, the trailer has two 42 gallon fresh water tanks, a 30 gallon gray tank, 17 gallons of gasoline and 100 lbs of LPG to make roughing it really not so rough. Our trailer is almost 3500 lbs empty but has a 10,000 lb capacity.
I ran three full lengths of e-track down the trailer floor and vertically every 5' along the walls. The buggies use wheel nets with one side anchored to the recessed d-rings in each corner of the trailer and the other side to the e-track. Loose items carried in the trailer are strapped to the walls. I suggest looking for a a trailer with one or more escape doors in the side wall if your vehicles have long doors that swing open - Otherwise you will climbing out the window or sucking in your gut to squeeze between the door and jam once inside. Try backing in as well as pulling in forward to see how vehicle engine and fuel tank affect your trailer balance.
I suggest beefing up the truck suspension so it can handle the TC without the airbags when not towing. When you tow, use the air bags to adjust for the weight of the hitch you are towing. Since you are running a DRW, you should be fine with tire capacity, but look into shocks with heavier dampening.
