You are beginning to understand that payload may be a more limiting factor than tow rating which is a "best case" scenario. You will need to comply with all the maximum ratings of the vehicle (GVWR/Payload, tongue weight, RAWR, Tire rating) with your loaded trailer ready to camp. My best guess is you will be limited to between a 4-5k GVWR trailer depending on payload of a properly equipped vehicle.
