Do you feel this would be safer than same size trailer considering sway ect.
Safe is relative to each person! Driving wyouith a 1/2 ton truck might be ok on flat roads and no strong winds. Going up and down mountain roads could be questionable. What kind of brake system do you have? are you runing with TR tires with at least "E" rated tires? Do you have a Reese Dual cam sway control or some thing like it?
