- 4300 lbs UVW and 390 lbs TW will most likely not be fun. I would assume that the TW number does not have the battery/propane. If you don't have a good TW then it is going to be a looooong drive back.
- 6 hours getting to the dealer will equal 8 hours+ getting home with the trailer. You will probably want to drive much slower with this combo, and maybe even stick to back roads.
- You will not want to leave without a WDH installed. The rear end of these things sag like there's no tomorrow when you get 500 lbs dead TW on them as I recall.
- Keep it out of overdrive.
The good thing is at least you don't have a 1st gen MDX :)
In general though I would probably recommend either borrowing or renting a TV for the trip, but you'd probably do OK if you're extra special careful.
