Not a mattter of what the car can pull ( 3500 lbs), its the tongue weight you need to be concerned about.

Mazda WD hitches.
This way if you have a 400 lb tongue weight you may be able to take 100 lbs off it.. example
As I stated in another post look at the jaycos, But the start craft AR ones are also what you should be looking at. Aluminum sided is lighter..
Youll be glad you have a closet. This model is 315 tongue/2760
jayco 185 rb
Starcraft AR one
305 tongue/2865
