110hp@6000rpm and 117ftlb@3500rpm ain't much to work with.
Our Nissan Mini van had 150HP/180TQ and power wise it was maxed out with our "aerodynamic", 23' vintage Airstream (dry weight 3,550lbs).
Your problems.... not enough power for a 2,500lb trailer. Using an odd ball vintage engine and running it in stress mode is asking for mechanical issues.
PS... Back in the day my sis had an RX7 with the rotory engine. Worked great except for the cost of replacing the blade seals.
